Mike-- Last spring I refinished and balanced my prop. You are more than welcome to borrow my simple rubber stopper prop balancer that I used with a vise as a knife edge w/ angle irons sharpened.I simply added a dab of varnish to the 'light' blade over the course of 2 days, let dry and it was in perfect balance. What is just as critical, if not moresoe, to a smooth running prop is trackingthe blade which we can do together if you'd like. All we need is a brown shopping bag to tear up and a torque wrench. These two methods will result in a wonderfully smooth running prop. My UncleTony shows both of these methods in his books and they work great.Mike C.(I'll stop by the hangar tonight and pick this up for you)[cid:image001.jpg(at)01CE99A7.7FACEAF0][cid:image002.jpg(at)01CE99A7.7FACEAF0]-----Original Message-----

That's it Mario! Super simple and it will give you a very smooth running prop. I LOVE that wood prop with the metal hub. You havea very rare thing in that from what little I know about those kinds of props. Way cool. Great look!!!
