The only way to get perfect results is for the wind to be calm. A 10
MPH breeze give you false readings, At least it does on the Acers
unit.. YMMV...


Are you saying that a 10 MPH breeze causes a perfectly balanced prop to

vibrate
noticeably?

Nope... What happens is the wind gusts during the actual balancing
operation will affect the unit from stabilizing and giving you a good
location and amount of weight to add...


How long does it normally take, running at full RPM, to get a stable

reading on
one of these balancer systems?

The machine tells you when it is getting a good reading (usually after about
30 seconds or so at power depending on conditions) then you hit the record
button and and 3-4 seconds later you have your reading. I am not sure if we
are talking about the same machine, ours is an Aces.
