Default RE: Balancing 3 blade prop


ORIGINAL: splais

Because the prop, two or three blade, is a single unit, the heaviest spot will always fall.
That doesn't make sense to me. If there's one blade pointing down, that would mean there are two blades above the pivot point. It seems to me that a three bladed prop would always come to rest with two blades on the bottom and one sticking up.
