does it save them from breaking? thank you. That's it! It holds the Prop on with a rubber ring. When you crash, the rubber ring can stretch and pop off saving your prop. |

That's the idea. They are most suitable for low power applications. The Cub is borderline and you should use 2 strong bands or it can pop off during loops, dives, and the like. I've had this happen-makes a terrible racket. This makes it somewhat less effective as a prop saver but still helpful. I used one all the time and broke few props, unlike the majority of new fliers.

If you go that route it needs to be a 4mm PS and you need to cut/shorten the shaft so it's barely a nub beyond the PS and up close to the cowl. A short shaft is harder to bend than a long one. Make sure your's FITS the prop. There are lots of different kinds and some work better with some props than others.
