MW,
Yikes!
Thanks much for that info. Will definitely keep an eye. As you know, that's the trailing bolt, and so therefore the main load bearing fastener resisting the moment created by prop thrust.
If I find it tends to loosen, I'll go with Loctite blue on the threads. There's an inch of threads engaged, so hopefully I'd have some warning before catastrophe hits.
