I just bought this one and balanced my first prop on it and it worked great. One of the less expensive ones out there so you can prolly find better quality but it did the job for me.

Good luck

Your right Mark, the more hands on the better, i do have one of these to ruffly check the balance

i havebalaenced, sharpend and polished a couple of my own props, but at this stage i still like paying to have them done, and when i find one of my props isnt of much use i use it as a test pig, to do mods and resharpend, balance and polish, but at this stage im still to slow, so i weigh up my time, vs the cost of others doing it and at this stage i find its cheaper to send them away and have them done, im reading resurching and trying to pactice i belive one day i will be good at it and ill be alot faster, ill get there no rush just yet.


ill have to head up your way so we can have an apache bash soon
