| Subject: | Prop-Balancing a TD |
Hi Gaggle:
A bit of an unusual question.
I have balanced props using dynamic balancing on planes, but, they were all
trike gear.
Now I want to balance the prop on an RV6 (Tail Dragger).
Since there is a nose up attitude and the prop is not sitting S&L, my
thoughts are; asymmetric loading would affect the outcome.
And two things would happen:
1 - The prop would not reach the highest possible RPM and
2 - I would be fighting the asymmetric loading and never be able
to achieve a balance in the S&L configuration.
So, if I am correct about my concerns; how can I secure the plane in a S&L
ground attitude?
Thanks Gaggle,
Barry
PS
I want to do this so bad because I just did a plane where I was able to
reduce the displacement from 0.38 to 0.04 IPS
WOW! What a noticeable physical difference that made.

Where aare you located? I'd love to have my prop balanced, but I doubt
there's anyone doing this within a few hundred miles of me. (Central
Colorado)

Hi John:
Well, I'm a bit further than a few hundred from you... All the way out in
NJ.
Wish I was closer.
