Prop balancer for large props
 
Guys,

I need some recommendations for a prop balancer for large props. Prop sizes from 22" to 34 "

Thanks Elson

This one works really good.

You can't tell from the advertised pictures, but you can set it up to let the prop hang off the side of the bench and then actually spin the prop around a full 360* circle and wait for it to stop.

It works very well. Well built. Simple to assemble and use.

I agree with Rcpilet

It's the one I use and I know at least a dozen others that use it also

Yep that's the one you want. Great for big props. I have a magnetic one that use for smaller props.

Can't beat a Dubro! Bugman did you ever try the Bel Rey Mc-1 oil?I thought I read that you were going to test or try it:D

off2fly,

We tested Belray MC-1 in our oil test a year ago.

Results:

The only oil which did not form carbon on the piston

Since the oil does not burn, fuel consumption was increased by about 15%

Thanks for the recommendation on a prop balancer. I will purchase one the next time I buy from tower.
