    prop balancing aggravation

    I rwally am suprised by graupner..for being german and costing more they are off by a bit. I have a set of folders for my zephyr. I have access to scales at work that can measure a diff of 0.0001 gms. One of the folding props was off by .1 gms which is a lot considering the rpms.

    prop balancing aggravation

    I noticed this too so i rolled the stock shaft on a sheet of glass AND what do you know? Thete was a slight bend in it. So i use another trick. One that is suggested by topflite. Use the gp fingertip balancer. The shaft is only 2-3one inches , hardened and the cones thread on.

    confused on gps location & xyz

Where he puts his finger would naturally make it top heavy. Shouldn't he find the exact center and then go out from there on Z...
