It of course is the voice of Builders/owners/operators of the Lightning

I can't remember who it was, but someone on this list had (or has?) a Rotec carburetor
for a 3300 Jabiru engine that he considered selling at one time. If that
is the case, I, or a friend, may be interested.
If this person still has it and would consider selling it, please contact me off
list at this email address. Thanks.
Bernardo

Two points:
First, this idea came from an old R/C prop balancer I had. It was like the magnetic
balancer, but was just a shaft, two tapered cones, and the shaft had pointed
ends. You just held it very lightly between your fingers. When I saw the
magnetic balancer, I adapted that $3 balancer to a magnetic version with some
old hard drive magnets and a 2X4. Worked perfectly.
This version obviously requires much larger magnets. :) Same idea though. As
to prop balancing, no need to bother with a static balance. I have a dnya-vibe
and hook that up and run the wires through the heater butterfly box into the
cabin so I can take readings at cruise speed and then balance for that specific
RPM. When I get it just right, you can tell the increase in vibration on
either side of 2850. At that specific RPM it's like glass.
I posted another video with some more detail if anyone wants to recreate my balancer setup. http://youtu.be/53mUcjocNUQ
If you're near DFW, drop by F69 if you want to borrow it.
