Dt750 motor's shaft is a 4mm screw.
APC's closest ring supplied ring is 5mm diameter.
my solution to this, is using fuel silicon tube as a sleeve around the shaft to achieve a snag fit. But I dont know if this a proper way to avoid vibrations.
any ideas - recommendations?

Thank you for your input.
I don't know if I can use this adapter with the screw type shaft of Dt750 motors.
that sounds interesting, I'll give it a try!

#2 vote for heatshrink. Just be sure to heat it evenly so it shrinks evenly...

I use this solution:
Small piece of aluminum tube with outer diameter - 5mm.
It works very nice)

Now , that's nice, great idea!
I hope I'll find a tube with 4mm inner diameter and 5mm outside diameter though....

Kalimera bestever,
I just use cable (zip) ties. 2 x 2.5mm per prop, attaching to the bell.
Can pretty much use any prop that way.
Have done about 10 flights like this so far without a prob.
Below is a video from a keychain cam. Quality isn't great, but enough to see.

zip ties was my "invention" when I builded my first tricopter and the only part missing was prop adaters. I didn't even know there was such a part.....
My experince with zit ties though wasn't that good, cause the generated vibrations I couldn't get rid off.
How they're doing in your application in terms of vibration?
