Re: how to stop the prop falling off!?

Yes. If the taper is machined correctly - both shaft and prop it should not move. Usually the difficulty is in actually shifting a prop rather than it falling off. When the prop is fully on there should still be thread showing so that the nut tightens against the prop. If the tapers are correct and the thread is too short, put additional washer(s) behind the nut.
