    Default Big Spinner & Balance on IVO Ultralight Ground Adjustable?

    My IVO Ultralight propeller (with the Ivo metal skullcap) performs well however I have an interest in doing a dynamic balance. I am wondering if any of you are using this same prop, and if so, have you had it dynamically balanced? The thought for the day on that issue is to fit a generous sized (and good looking) backplate and spinner (on which to attach weights). I’m looking for a smooth operation. Thanks.

    Hi Skot,

    IMHO, it is very difficult to balance one of those props without a decent sized spinner. I've balanced hundreds of props - I think the larger spinner is a good idea.
