My old basic flight instructor though removing the price tag was the only thng needed to balance a prop. Today at the field I met one of the new guys and the sticky part of the tag was still there on his prop, just brought back some good memories. DJ, there is one size APC prop that I keep running into that is always in good balance, I just can't remember what one!! Always nice to run into it though. If you take that finger balancer you can cut a CD or disc in half and mount the two halfs in a flat piece of balsa and set it in the holes, shazam, it's even better then holding it with your hand. I made one years ago but my basic instructor got a nice GP balancer for Xmas, it ended up in my flight box, he still uses the remove the price tag way to balance.
