    Default Dynamic Balancing

    Looking for opinions on the value of dynamically balancing my Rotax/Warp combination. Have others done this? noticed a difference?

    Yep, our EAA Chapter bought a DynaVibe and I balanced my Ivo/912S combo. It's amazing. I thought my setup was smooth before, but after I can't feel ANY vibration when touching the panel for instance. Mine was .3 IPS before and took it down to .03 with a small bit of lead riveted to the fiberglass spinner backplate.

    Cain,
    Thanks, that sounds like a good option. Do you know if he ever works on weekends?

    Dorsal, he does occasionally work on weekends. I am sure you could hook up with him.
