Default Tracking Large Props

Sometimes I think I'm a liittle strange or something. I asked this question on the Scale Aerobatics
board but didn't get a single reply? Either I am not part of their loop, or it's a useless question.
Oh well, you guys will tell the story Here goes;

Whenever I mount a new, or remount an old prop, I check to see if it runs in
the same "plane" so to speak with an unsophisticated gizmo I keep in the
van. In other words I measure the difference in position for each blade on the
same side of the plane.

Does anyone else do this, and what do you do if it isn't true?
I just mounted a spank brand new wooden prop on a 150cc and it's less than
I'd hoped for )-:

I messed with it a bit and got it pretty good, but was wondering what you
guys settle for, if anything less than perfect?
What are the cons of a prop that runs a little out of "plane"
I torque my wooden props to 37.5 inch pounds, and cf to 40.
Thanks and take care_bob
