Hi Carel

Contact Piet de Necker at P.Prop and ask him very nicely for a handbook on prop balancing. It is full of very usefull tips and helped me to balance my 2 blade wooden prop to perfection. Do not listen to o.w.t. - refer to his book!!!

Kind Regards

Larry

Morph has described a very good method for balancing the prop in his previous thread.

Go to the links below for methods of installing and checking tracking of props.

Take care,
