Modify Raptor Exhaust mount rubber stud connection to with nut.
Many without nut...DOES come loose after pre flight...exhaust go's through prop.
refer pics...use it or lose it..your prop or your life.

There
must be a safety wire attached to the exhaust as per your second picture. If there isnt it will go through the prop! My exhaust hanger blocks have broken in the past but the safety wire stopped it going through the prop ( the safety wire must be as tight as possible in order for the exhaust not to move around too much if the blocks fail or come loose ) Lock nuts MUST be fitted to bolts on exhaust hanger.
Good one
Later
