RE: Balancing props?
I have been using Dubro high-point balancer and like it. It can balance props (all sizes) and spiners with good precision. Unbalanced props cause bad vibrations, which will demage the airframe, servos and most importantly the receiver. I've seen plane crashing due to this.
A prop hitting the running way durng landing can be badly out balanced and should be rebalanced right away.
