Dont run without balance !!=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A____________________________ ____=0A From: clemwehner =0ATo: kitfox-list@matro nics.com =0ASent: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 7:23 AM=0ASubject: Kitfox-List: lemwehner@sbcglobal.net>=0A=0AWe're finally installing our GSC 68-inch wood en 3-bladed prop on a KF -IV-912. The instructions from GSC said the prop b lades are balanced at the factory and are a matched and numbered set and th e CG of the blades match. They say not to alter the blades in any way.- =0A=0AHowever when we put the blades on the static prop balancer (the wire stand one from Skystar), one blade is heavy. Weighing the blades reveals th at one is indeed about 1 ounce heavier than the others.- Since they are a numbered matched set, I question what to do next. =0A=0ADo we try to add w eight to the other two blades (varnish or something) to get them to static balance. But that would change the CG of the blades and "alter" them. What should we do?=0A=0AClem=0ALawton OK=0A=0A=0A=0A=0ARead this topic online he re:=0A=0Ahttp://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=406117#406117=0A=0A =========================0A =================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
