Bit embarrassed today at the flightline at the model flying club! There is no doubt the advent of electric power and its ease and simplicity have seen a lot more folks flying but tragically a drop in proper engineering practice. Screws should never be used to attach a motor to a firewall, use blind nuts, washers and spring washers with lock tite! This saves the awkward moment of the motor taking off without the plane. Oh the shame!
