This thread is not about how to balance a prop or shop balancing

Did anyone use BalanceMasters device bolted on their ultralight prop?

These devices apparently balance the prop continuously as you fly.
Similar devices are used on truck wheels - see www.BalanceMasters.com
and www.centramatic.com


ya know, if we consider this to be a wood UL prop (US style),
it doesn't weigh more than about 5 ot 6 pounds.

If the prop static balances ok, but still vibrates badly enough to
cause concern, I think I'd just replace it because it obviously has
a problem.

A couple of hundred bucks for a new Tennessee Props propeller isn't
that bad - specially when the alternative is throwing a prop blade
in flight.

Just a thought...
