DynaVibe available again

[Dorsal]

It has been a while since it has been out on tour, let me know if you are interested.

This is a Dynavibe "classic" with a variety of brackets provided by other users.
$50 plus shipping to the next pilot.

I just balanced my prop yesterday (thanks whoever made the steel welded brackets), the unit is in good working order.

[Esser]

In and ready! Shall I private messsge you?

[Dorsal]

Esser,
yes, pm with address.

[Dorsal]

Any other takers? I will be sending it out to Josh on Monday. Fairly easy to use and can make a big difference.

[aviator79]

In a few months, for sure

[ken nougaret]

Will it work on an o-200 with 2-blade whirlwind prop? Is it just a matter of adding washers for weight?

[N213RV]

I would love to rent it next!! I’m in Jackson, Michigan

[PapuaPilot]

Will it work on an o-200 with 2-blade whirlwind prop...

Yes, it should work with any engine. Yes, you typically add washers, bolts and maybe nuts on your spinner. If you haven't balanced your prop it is definitely worth doing.

[efwd]

Ill use it soon as well.

[ken nougaret]

Thanks Phil. Put me in line for it. No hurry. I' m putting on a newly overhauled carb next weekend so i will have to sort that out.

[Dorsal]

Josh had a delay, package on its way to Mike (213RV), send me a PM when it arrives.

Tip, don't put the reflective tape on the back of an aluminum spinner plate, will cause inaccurate results. Use the blade root for best results.

[yoda]

I’m ready to rent. Sent PM.
Thx
Pat

[Dorsal]

Unit should be on its way from Mike to Josh, next stop Florida.

[JAMES20011]

If that unit makes it to Eastern oregon Please pm me so I can get in on it. thanks..

[Esser]

Hey Dorsal, I’m guessing good instructions come with?

[Dorsal]

included instructions are in the top of the case plus some pics and notes from other users, that said I highly recommend watching the video on the Dynavibe site.

Don't hesitate to post questions.

[ken nougaret]

I have the dynavibe. I balanced my prop last saturday.
I sent Dorsal and Yoda a PM but neither have replied.
I'm throwing this out just in case either is listening or anyone knows another way to contact.
What address do i send to next?
How much does Dorsal want for the rental, and how does he want payment?

[aviator79]

I will probably want it some time in mid-January. I don't want to skip the line though, especially if there is someone who could use it between now and then.

[efwd]

I can use it now.
You can PM me if your ready to ship and those in line still don't reply.

[GuppyWN]

How can I get on the list?

[Dorsal]

You are :)
Unit should be headed to Patrick (yoda) in FL then Eric (ejoern) in CO then up to you.

JAMES20011 are you still interested?

[yoda]

Ken, I sent PM.
I’ll be waiting for it.
Thx Pat

[efwd]

Im not certain of what has happened. GuppyWN PMd me about the Dynavibe. I replied to that PM a week ago without reply? So I sent another today and in the event the Private messages are not getting out of my Cue, I figured I would post here. I could use the Dynavibe whenever it is available. Thanks.

[aviator79]

May I get in the queue behind Eddie?

[GuppyWN]

Im not certain of what has happened...

My bad. Too much work. Not enough Kitfox. I’ve left a message and voicemail Eddie.

[Dorsal]

Dynavibe on the move, headed to Eddie (efwd)
current list is (I just edited the order, makes sense to go NM then OK)

aviator79 NM

dginOK OK

turbosaaber FL

then back to guppyWN (assuming his new prop showed up)

remember to check the top of the case (behind the foam) for instructions and tips from other users (and feel free to add your own).

Anyone else?

[GuppyWN]

I forgot to add my experience but highly recommend you remove the lower cowl too. I didn’t and the prop wash pushed the cowl into the exhaust tube and burned my paint. Not the end of the world as I needed to repair some cracking around the lower intake and repaint anyway but DANG IT!

[Dorsal]

Glad you got a good result Eddie,
Slight change to the list for geographic efficiency. Feel free to contact others in the list if you have a time constraint or delay.

JAMES20011 OR

aviator79 NM

dginOK OK

turbosaaber FL

then back to guppyWN (assuming his new prop showed up)

[aviator79]

Got it balanced to 0.10 IPS. Shipping back to James on Wed.

[Dorsal]

Unit on the move again, headed to OK

dginOK OK

turbosaaber FL

back to guppyWN ID (assuming his new prop showed up)

h&jeuropa MI

[dginok]

Huge thanks to Dorsal for renting out his DynaVibe!

I used it on my Kitfox Super Sport with Rotax 912ULS and in-flight adjustable IVOProp.

The initial DynaVibe averages were in the 0.25 inches per second range.

After several runs and weight additions, my final averages were 0.05 IPS for climb pitch at 5400 RPM, and 0.01 IPS for coarser pitch at 5200 RPM. I thought I would never get the vibration down that low.

Time will tell if I feel any difference in flight.

[kmach]

It will be a night and day difference. It will feel like a totally different airplane.

[Dorsal]

The unit just arrived with h&jeuropa and the end of the list, any other takers before it comes home?

[GuppyWN]

Dorsal,
Thanks again. I can almost guarantee people just don’t realize how smoothly they could be running. You provide a good value on your rental!

[N213RV]

Hi Dorsal,

i tried sending you a couple PM’s, but not sure they went through. I would like to try the Dynavibe again. Last fall I rented it only to find a cracked prop. I now have a new prop and would like to try again.

thanks
-Mike Kraus

[Dorsal]

OK, the Dynavibe will travel again, if others are interest please let me know and I will add you to the list.

[Thor821]

Hi Dorsal, could I rent the DynaVibe.
Thanks
Frank

[JoeRuscito]

Thanks!

Dorsal and Thor821. Sorry to mix things up again. The Patey brother borrowed me there Dynavibe so I was able to use it today. You can take me off the list. Thanks and sorry for switching things around.

[Furn1593]

how do I get on the list? just post here... please add me. i did send a pm to dorsal also.

[JoeRuscito]

I just received the Dynavibe. I should have time this weekend to get my prop balanced and will send it to Skidookid asap. Questions I have. I assume once balanced, pitch changes can be made without having to rebalance correct? Also What are people using for balance weight and where are you mounting them on whirlwind props?

[Dorsal]

Joe,
Where weight is needed I replaced two of the perimeter screws that hold on the spinner, I used ones long enough to put a few washes and a nut on the back.

[PapuaPilot]

Typically you install the final (permanent) weights on the spinner backplate as far outboard as possible. Use a screw/bolt, self locking nut and washers as needed to make the correct weight. You will need to drill a hole in the backplate at the correct clock position. Make sure it doesn't rub on your cowling.

Another method is to put the final weight on the inside of the backplate flange. To do this you may need to make a countersunk hole and use a countersunk machine screw holding the weights.

BTW there is a maximum weight you should install on any spinner bulkhead and it can vary depending on the brand/model. This has to do with the structural strength of the backplate (think about the centrifugal force).

While doing the balancing I remove the spinner screw nearest the correct clock position and install a longer screw/washers of the correct weight. Don't forget to account for the weight of the screw you removed. Sometimes it's best to split the solution weight between two spinner screws.

I haven't used a Dynavibe, but hopefully it can do all of the calculations for splitting weights and the final weight (if it is installed at a different radius).

[JoeRuscito]

Hey all! It Took a bit longer than expected to get the balancing done but its complete and I got it down to an average of between 0.04 and 0.09. Who's next?

[jrevens]

You will need to drill a hole in the backplate at the correct clock position. Make sure it doesn't rub on your cowling. ...

That’s definitely the FAA approved/recommended way. I’ve balanced many dozens of props on experimental aircraft, but I just hate putting holes in a spinner backing plate. If something changes (new prop, etc.), the ideal location for perfect balance weight addition may be just slightly off of that hole, or at the very least you may now have an unnecessary hole in the plate and have to drill another one in a new location. With Lycomings it is often possible to do a good job utilizing the holes that are in most of the “newer” ring gears (every 30 deg.) and adding bolts, nuts & washers as necessary. Otherwise I have used automotive stick-on lead wheel weights very successfully. I carefully clean & gently rough up the inside of the back plate flange in the proper location(s) and apply the weight(s) there. I remove the foam mounting tape that comes on the weights & replace it with high temp/high strength 3M tape. I’ve also molded my own thin lead strips to use when only small amounts of weight are necessary and I want to have a greater contact surface area for adhesion. The lead is easily trimmed to the correct fractions of an ounce or gram. After the weight is applied and final balance check, I then apply a thin fillet of silicone sealant around the perimeter at the base of the weight to seal the edge of the foam mounting tape against air & moisture. In the approximately 25 years I’ve been doing that, I’ve never heard of a weight coming off. However, if you do need to rebalance with new weights, they are easily removed with no damage to the spinner backing plate. FWIW.

[Dorsal]

Joe,
Hold on to the unit for a little bit to see if there are others who are interested, if no takers you can send it back to me.

[Furn1593]

I would like to rent it. Brian..

[JoeRuscito]

Hey Dorsal,

Am I ok to send to Brian above? Haven’t heard from anyone else.

[JoeRuscito]

Hey Dorsal,

Is this thing still going around? Id like to get back on the list if possible. I'm starting to suspect all the bushwacking I've put this prop though has thrown it back out of balance ;)

Thanks!

[Turbosaaber]

I'd like to get on the list as well please. Dorsal I'll send contact info through a pm...thanks and take care...
