Is it safe to replace the propellers without using locktite on the screws?

[Drone man flying]

I have replaced both propellers on right rear motor after mini was coming in for a landing. The drone just dropped about 6 ft above ground when it just dropped, hit the ground , bounced back up and then fell back onto ground. I noticed after looking at the flight data it said max power load reached, decrease altitude and fly with caution , land immediately. Code 30168. I also had a low battery voltage fly with caution code 110011. Does this drone just crash down when the voltage gets too low? It was sitting at 19% left. The temperature was around 2 degrees Celsius or around 36 degrees Fahrenheit. With the bouncing on the ground it chipped one of these props. Is it safe to fly it without locktite on the screws?

hi,
As an old biker, i usually use this workaround when i'm short of locktite:
- Go to bathroom,
- Check your wife makeup bag
- Choose a good nail polish,
- Use it as Locktite !

If your wife does not use nail polish, you can try with ... another wife

Play it safe. Use a “tiny” dab of Blue Loctite. Or not. After all, it’s your toy. Good luck.

The new screws have it on them already. That's why they give you spare screws with the kits to use when replacing props. If you are putting the old screws on once you remove them to remove the props the locktite is removed so you will need to add it to prevent them coming loose mid-flight. Not worth crashing your drone over something like this.
