APC props-balance

[Ted Sander]

Or, those of us that are impatient (or forgot, and it's a really, really,
nice Saturday morning), use thin CA.  A drop near the tip, smooth out with
your finger (or paper towel, if you're fastidious).  Check balance.  Sand
the CA with fine grit if you overshoot on the weight.

Instructions say not to modify the prop in any way.  But they are not
balanced.  Do most people just use as is or balance?  If you balance, how do
you do it?

thanks,
Jerry


Jerry try painting some clear dope to the light side. Remember that the
carrier in the dope will evaporate so over balance and let it come in. It
will take some time to get it right.

Or do what most of us do: take 320 wetor dry paper and wet sand the heavy
side. While you are at it, also remove the sharp trailing edge and smoothen
the leading edge. Finish the job with 600 wet
