Prop fell off

[Wayno52]

Hi all, just went out for second flight with new tyrant s and I have a few issues I'm hoping the experienced pilots can help me with. Ok so quite windy here again today so prob should have given it a miss, but too excited. First up I find the picture on eachine ev800 quite bad I was hoping for a bit better however on the LCD screen there was plastic cover like a screen protector for phone. It had a tab to pull off so I did. But now I think it is meant to be in? Also I had the right rear prop fall off while giving it a bit of punch. Thankfully I was only about 4m up and on soft lawn so no damage. My question is how tight to do props? On the quad all nuts tighten same way clockwise. So I gather 2 will self tighten and 2 will loosen? Any ideas

just have to tighten them good and re tighten often especially if you hit scraggle or a gate etc

Somewhere between pretty tight and very tight, I would say. Sorry my only torque wrench is like 18" long.

I use a nut driver to tighten my props
