okay I have tried for some time to master prop balancing and I am still not sure if I'm doing it correctly so I thought I'd post this thread with some pictures and how I do it and see if its correct......

1. In photo 1 this is how I start....
I try to balance the prop to where it will stay level if it doesn't I sand material from the blade that falls
I then flip the prop 180 degrees (as in picture 2) and make for sure it stays level that way as well (usually it does)....

Now here is where I'm not for sure I'm doing it right.....

2. In step 2 I place the prop at an angle as in photo 3, it should stay in that position if its perfectly balanced. but for example if it rotates to where the prop is level and the blue side is on the bottom then I sand the ENTIRE PROP on the blue side......
I then try again to see if it will stay in the angled position..... (sometimes you will sand one blade more than the other and have to go back to step one)

3. From the angled position I rotate the prop 90 degrees (as in pic 4 ) where it is at an angle with the red side facing primarily down, I then release the prop if it rotates to level wit the red side facing down I then remove material along the entire red side..... if it rotates to level and the blue side is facing down I then remove material from the entire blue side....

I keep doing this 3 step process over and over again until I get it to where no matter what angle I place the prop in it stays.....
I believe I am balancing the prop length wise and chord wise....
so I ask am I doing it correctly or is this wrong?
If so then how are you to properly balance props?
