I have a wooden 11x7 Master Airscrew prop that is heavy on one side. I'll sand down the heavy end to get it to balance, but I'm curious if there is a rule of thumb method for sanding a prop.
Thanks!!
When sanding, it is preferable to sand only the blade face and the entire face not just on the tip. The face is the side that faces toward the rear of the airplane in normal layout. This minimises changes in the airfoil and thinning the blade when sanding on the more curved blade back.
