I have never heard of stretching of AN bolts, let alone one on a critical 
component such as a prop. Were that the case, every one of the spam cans on the 
ramp ought to have replaced their prop bolts a few times by now. Most of them 
are flying with the same bolts they left the factory with.

Even quality AN bolts can stretch and twist under torque loading.  How many 
retorque cycles can these prop bolts sustain before they become unserviceable?

As it’s change of seasons, it’s time to check that wooden prop tension

I just did mine and could not behave how much it went down, almost a full turn 
to get tension correct
