      I glue my cables into drilled stub shafts with Loctite 648. A proper fit and good surface preparation are key.

        I’ve always had the best results silver soldering the flex cable to the prop shaft; it holds up great under load and never slips. Some guys use Loctite 638 or 680, but in my experience, soldering gives more peace of mind, especially with high-power setups.
