Quad where to put thread lock

Okay so I'm building my first quadcopter and there's a lot of nuts and screws on the frame. I was wondering if it is necessary to put thread lock glue on every screw/nut on the frame. Will the quad fall apart in flight if I don't?

What are you building?
I have never used thread lock on my quad builds and as far as I know, all of my crashes have been props breaking or operator error. :)
I now include checking for white marks near prop hubs in my preflight checks. :)

Any screw that is going into metal, use thread lock on it. Make sure to clean off the threads of the screw though. If it's going into plastic, don't worry about it.
