I want to show a mistake that was made when ordering parts. I am not throwing anybody under the bus, I am going to hub hobby tomorrow to get this all settled out. I am a man of my word, I said these propellers will be done by Monday, and they will get done by Monday. However, this is a good learning experience for anybody who is interested in the quadcopter project. I have some photos to show what these shaft bushings are supposed to look like. This gray piece of plastic is considered to be a press in bushing, i.e. there should be no play and it is a tight fit when pressed into the propeller (the black thing in the photo). This photo shows what the bushing will look like before fully pressing it into the propeller.
Here is a photo to show what the bushing will look like when it is pressed in.
Here is a photo to show what the whole propeller assembly will look like before it goes on the motor.
This is how are motor shaft adapter bushing's are looking. You can clearly see the gap, this is BAD. This is not press in at all, it is serving more as a washer than a bushing.
