Hey Hi there,

I think that everybody has right in his on perspective and habbit!!!
You all guys are mentioning of ballancing props. It's very true and correct what you are doing....But you all ballance them STATIC...!
The props in order to work absolutely corect they have to have also "DYNAMIC BALLANCE"......and in order to get that you have it only with very expensive ones....that they do not "flex" at all. Anyway if somebody is habitual in braking props either cause he is careless or he is flying in a difficult environment, the most probable is to "break" the engine or even the plane way sooner than the effect of the "unbalanced prop" will take place at the engine's bearings or so.
Anyway the reason that we most of us flying our babies is cause we are getting "recharged" in order to live a little happier life...
Who cares about a 40$ engine? Most of us we pay much more in the drinks or cigarretes in monthly basis.....
Cheers
Johnnie
