> Educate me someone.........Getting some increased vibration on my RV-4,
and I am concerned......This is a Sensenich fixed with no damage or strikes,
and hasn't been re-pitched or worked on since new...... Not even a rock pock
mark......Bolts are tight and torqued......It is installed on a Lycoming 160
HP engine with about 400 hours on the prop, and 1300 hours on the engine.
>
> If I hire "prop men" to come out and check it, what is their
procedure?......Do they balance it on the aircraft with the engine
running?......Pull it and rotate it on some machine like for auto
wheels?......How do they check the crankshaft to see if it is the
problem?......Do they install weights, and if so, how and where do they
mount them?
>
> Would appreciate any info from you folks that have experience in this
area..........................CHEERS!!!!.................................Gen
e Smith.
