I have seen these advertised for years, no personal experience.
http://balancemasters.com/aircraft.html
The engine/gearbox/prop on the FF is a Rotax 277, B-box (2.58:1) and two blade
62" Ivo, and is very smooth over 5200 rpm but terrible between 5100-4000. Performance
is excellent other than the vibration. I am thinking harmonics, but who
knows???
Wondering if the Balance Master would be worth trying, but before I spend the $,
would like to hear from somebody who has actually tried one.
Thanks.

Richard P/Kolbers:
My own personal thoughts only.
This is from the 277 Manual: "The 277 is designed and tuned to operate at
6250 to 6500 rpm full load/full throttle."
Since I have been on the List it seems you have always preferred to operate
you Rotax two strokes below the power band. I looked for rpm specs for the
power band, but could not find anything except the above. You may be trying
to operate the engine in a zone that it was not designed for. Below 5200
rpm is really slow for a single cylinder two stroke working as a continuous
duty engine.

Richard, I started running Balance Masters balancers on my Harley
Vibraglide. I run them on the engine and the clutch. While they're nothing
much during acceleration once you reach speed you can actually feel the
engine and transmission even out. I've run them on my 582 and my HKS. I
believe they work and are well worth the money. My 2 cents after 27 years
running them.
