Default RE: Propellers always needed to be balanced?

APC props generally are very close but there have been a few "ringers". Most Master Airscrews that I've used needed balancing, primarily older stock, the new molds are getting better. SO CHECK EM ALL. Some props or spinners can shake the heck out of a plane.

I use a GPMQ5000 Fingertip Propeller Balancer, they are cheap small, portable don't need setup and plenty good for .25 through 1.20 size glow engines. I find the magnetic type more sensitive and time consuming than necessary.
