Steve, Have you had the plane reweighed, so that you can calculate the CG freshly, if not I recommend it. Who was the original builder of the plane?

Hi Guys, Does anyone have a prop balancer installed on their engine? I have a lycoming 235 L2C and the plane and engine came with a aluminum prop balancer attached to the fly wheel. I'm thinking about taking it off to lessen the weight up front. Thanks!
