| The R30 tail hub works just fine if you assemble it correctly. Mine has 350 flights without any problems
I am afraid you need to disassemble your tail hub again, there is no way to get loctite in there while assembled.
You should use loctite along the whole set screw, and tighten down the set screw firmly, making sure it is properly seated in the holes on the tail shaft. Be careful to not overtighten, you could end up stripping the aluminium threads in the hub.
Slide on the bearings, making sure no loctite gets into them.
Then add a drop of loctite to the nyloc nut and tigthen firmly. You can use the same nyloc again, just make sure you use some loctite on it.
So use enough loctite and avoid stripping the threads and you will be fine.
