Having seen what it took to get my bird back into specs, blade shake would

See http://www.mccauley.textron.com/svcl.../sl1989-2C.pdf for
specific details regarding blade shake.


The original poster didn't quantify the movements of the propeller, but
based on the document quoted, I don't see any cause for concern unless
the propeller movements were far in excess of the recommendation. The
bottom line is that some shake and twist are normal, but a propeller
blade that is excessively "loose" in the hub is not normal.

Balance is an entirely different issue.
