FangsCPO said:Question.....when you guys balance your props are you shaving/sanding away prop material or using tape? If so, what kind of tape is best and how should it be placed. Photos would be great. Thanks!
I haven't balanced my props. I've added cushioning for a slight (very slight) jello on my P1. I added P2 props to the P1 and they were already in good balance. My P2 and the 550 did not need it. No jello and it sounds 'ok'.
OK... having said that, I have a good balancer and will not hesitate to balance them if that is a need. If a prop is waaayyy off, I can see counterbalancing the others with aluminum tape - the stuff is extremely sticky and would hold up ( I use it for another hobby that is somewhat exacting and it works great). Gorilla tape (kind of a super gaffer tape) is also very sticky and durable. However, I really doubt I would ever see a prop that far out of balance - I've got a dozen sets of different types and they are all very close. Just fine tuning with sandpaper should do the job for anything I have.
