Default Propeller Balance Master

what's best - shaving or painting? How far out from the hub for each
method? ...assuming a wooden prop.

Just curious.


The further out, the less weight needs to be added. I have read that it is
far better to not disturb the seal of the prop by shaving, if at all
possible. It may not be possible to change a badly off prop with paint
alone.

Others have opinions reflecting far more experience than me. The largest
prop I have ever balanced is 22 inches, but it does make a huge difference.
