I use to balance all my props very thoroughly, but since I got into high performance electrics I`m not able to balance the tiny 4.1" to 5" props. They are so light-weight that they don`t move at all on my magnetic balancer, making balancing impossible.
Try and get the tips of the metal shaft as close as you can to the magnets, but not touching. Then apply a little pressure with your hand to the bottom braces, this brings the shaft closer still, and is a way to fine tuning the shaft to magnet distance. I can actually balance the shaft and the hubs separately with this method.

Nice flying on the Typhoon, love sound of that screaming lecky.
