I assume the picture was taken pre-fire condition.

If you don't have many, you most likely have a well balanced prop statically. Dynamically is a different thing and a good thing to do when early in your flying phase. Balance weights will then be added most likely to the spinner backplate in addition. Also make sure the lockwire running between the screws isn't capable of sawing a groove in the blade as it moves during constant speeding.

I will await clarification and would be happy to comment later on why several adulterations could lead to problems of safety in flight. by definition I guess Ken Scott is Van's Aircraft.

My throttle and mixture seem more ? difficult to move than normal. I have check firewall forward and find no reason for more force required to move. I have tried the friction lock control but it does not seem to accomplish much if any. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-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/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-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.
