Real time continuous Prop balancing

Richard,

5 or 6 pounds??? you are talking about an ultralight. I am interested
in 200hp engine props. It is recommended to dynamic balance a prop
after you get it. A dynamic balance costs about $200+. After a few
years of nicks you might want to finish it and balance it again. One of
these devices is about $100 when made in quantities and usable for
several props.

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...
