    Default Prop Balance Master

    https://www.leadingedgeairfoils.com/...-anodized.html

    I ran across this looking at plane parts and had never heard of them before. I'm curious if anyone has ever used this and if it works to help balance props?
    I fly a Piper Archer now but have a Kitfox on order. Thanks for any info.

    That is something I have never seen before. If it works that would be a great device because you just have to bolt it on. One nice feature seems to be that it does it at all RPMs.

    Here is a video showing it on being tested on a Rotax 912:

    It would be interesting to test one on a prop that has already been dynamically balanced. I would check the vibration at several RPMs before and after installation.
