Default Ivo prop - balancing

balancing but it would be off again the next time the prop was apart.


Not exactly true with knurled plates - the advice is to to reinstall
the blades in the same "knurl position" as when taken off.

This brings to mind the "balancing disk" (from http://www.balancemasters.com/ultralights.html
) I have installed. It seems to work. There is notable more vibration
when I take it off. You can see a photo at http://www.abri.com/sq2000/balancer.jpg
(hit reload if you get a permission error) Is anybody else using one
of these?
