Default RE: balancing propeller

It's not a bad idea to do this with EVERY prop.

Some props come somewhat balanced from the factory, others need some work.

The more balanced the prop ( and don't forget to balance the SPINNER TOO! ) the less vibration the plan may be subjected to in flight and on the ground.

The engine also gains a bit of efficiency too.
