Prop Balancing in Central Queensland?

[Trackley]

Is there anyone out there.

Hi Trackley, I have balanced a couple of props, but only static. Made up a small rig to do this. If the demand is here, I might consider getting a dynamic balancing tool (I have a restricted L2 maintenance authority now).

 

Cheers, Thomas

Cool alright. I have just bought a new bolly and awaiting arrival.

Trackely, the Bolly is pre-balanced, just assemble it and it will be right .Very important to get the pitch equal on all blades and check the tracking. I had painted the tips on mine and had to check the balance afterwards.

I would recommend getting your new prop dynamically balanced.

 

I spent a lot of time doing the static balance and the pitch adjustments. I believe I did a pretty darn good job but a dynamic balance by Superair @ Armidale, a month or so later made an immediate and noticeable difference.
