To what extent is this a terrible idea?

I got a balance charger and it comes with several different output chargers, but none of them are XT60. However, I have XT60 connectors (the yellow thing), to what extent is it a bad idea to cut off the ends of that alligator cable and solder them to the XT60 connector and use that to charge the battery?

How to attach propeller to motor

Am I missing a part? This motor (sunnysky 2204) has a strange set of 2 sideways screws but I don't see any way to actually get it to connect to the propeller

Can't sign into account

Signing into my Onshape account isn't working at all; when I input my password and email and click Sign In it remains buffering on Signing In... for about a minute before saying Too Many Requests and timing out. I've tried resetting my password, using a different browser, using a different computer and using a different Wi-Fi network and I get the same issue every time. Has anyone else had this issue? I really cannot find anything online about fixing it

I'm building an 80cm high-wing trainer and planning on making my wing ribs out of PLA with this shape (I tried to get it pretty close to a Clark-Y airfoil) while using wooden dowels as my wing spars (one through each octagonal hole in the model) and covering the whole thing with paper hot glued to the ribs.

Their chord is 14cm long and the max thickness is 1.77cm, and Bambu Studio quotes each rib as being 7.5g when printed, but I have a few questions:

At that weight, how many should I put in each wing? (they're 1cm wide each, should they be wider?)

Should I add more structural material to make them stronger?

What do I do for leading/trailing edges - I've heard to use a thin sheet of plywood (at least on the trailing edge) but how do I make a long piece that replicates the bend in the leading edge and will hold the wing cover?

Should I use a material other than paper? Packing tape?
