Default Prop/Spinner Balancer???

Hi All,

After reading a couple of recent magazine articles on vibration reduction, I'm going to try to be a lot more proactive about balancing the props and spinners of my gas powered airplanes going forward. As such, I'm looking for a specific recommendation on an accurate, high-quality, long-lasting prop/spinner balancer. I don't mind spending a few bucks, but I want something good!

Thanks,

John

Yep. Me too and it works great.

I have another "High Point Balancer" made very much like this one that I used to balance flywheels which is the same pieces as Aviator1977 is talking about.
