Mini Funtana prop balance
I got a way cool Kavan small prop balancer from Hobby Lobby with a shaft that fits the M-F Eflite prop hole PERFECT.
One blade is heavy. I'm not sure what material the plastic prop is. Do you guys sand material off the heavy blade or add something like paint to the heavy blade? Front of blade or back? I want to do a good job since an unbalanced prop could mess up the gear box especially with the 4200kV Park 400 motor.

RE: Mini Funtana prop balance
I use medium CA glue on the back of the prop to balance it. I just put a drop on then smooth it out with a piece of wax paper. Then check the balance. Add more if needed.
