Default PROP TOOLS

GANG:

Some time through the years we come up with something worth sharing and then forget to do so. Pic is of a tool I have been relying on for a lot of years to help ballancing my props from new out of the box to cut down. Works on small and large and helps to get a spot on ballance. The 1/4" standard shaft in the center should be done on a drill press, a carrage bolt or sim. cut off leaving the smooth shaft section extedned out of the wood, threaded, set in place with a shot of thin CA. Underneath is another small 1/4" shaft holding a number of nylon addaptors for use on larger props frtom the local hdwe store. Simply hold the block with 100 to 80 grit sandpaper on two sides, find the shortest length and sand the long side to match. Amazing how many new props are off in length. Try it, you will keep one in your shop. Dig the nice new carpet after the lipo fire?ENJOY
