I added metal tubing for the exhausts because the kit ones were broken already. I also added the MAD Boom.

I seem to be using it a lot for engine exhausts. The Prowler has then too.

So I'm building the Quickboost props and it has a jig do set the blades. It also has a hole in the bottom to drill a hole so you can attach them to the engines. But what I don't know how to do it drill that hole. Do I glue the hub to the jig? I have no idea.

I would guess you drill the hole through the into the hub (assuming there's a hole in the jig) then put rod/sprue etc through the jig and into the hub in order to rotate the hub prop by prop. Just guessing
