Re: motor to prop shaft coupling
I often use good old silicone tubing to connect the two shafts, Roger...as long as it's a tight fit on both ends there's very little chance of it failing.
I have used silicone tube on some quite powerful motors in the past...if you keep the piece of tube as short as possible, you'll have no problems.
Plus of course, it's cheap and easily replaceable...

Re: motor to prop shaft coupling
I prefer not use any coupling i.e straight through but otherwise the "red ones."
