Painting a prop

John you where saying with a 3 blade warp you balance each blade individually.....have you any tips on the method of weighing each blade....is there a particular method.

Nick.

[John Boucher]

Well basically you'll do it as follows....

Same length of each blade from the centre point of the hub to the tip....
Each blade pitched exactly the same....
Static balance like you do a motorbike rim on a pivot point....
Spin in direction of normal rotation....
Determine the lightest blade and coat of paint/clear lacquer....

The best chap to tell you each minute step would be Pieter de Necker though!

Daai goed sit soos "snot in 'n wol kombers" if applied correctly but in hindsight listen to what "Morpheus" says....

Of soos meidestront aan n poeliesjas!
