Balanced Prop Question
This Question is for all you prop guys.
I have a prop that will 10 out of 10 spins, stop with the A blade up. The A blade and B blade will be level every time but stops in the same level position.
Even with both blades level this does not seem balanced to me.
What do I do to balance this? Or is it?
Would this mean the hub of the prop (the very center) is not balanced?
Thanks for the help

My Feedback: (12)
Sorry to say, but it's not balanced yet. It could be the hub or it could be that blade B is still a bit heavy. When I get one like this, and it's not that uncommon, I usually take some of the bottom side of the hub and also the part of the blade that's pointing down.

So I would want to take some of the hub that points down every time and a little more off the B blade? Being that’s the blade that ends up on the lower side. Even though its level, just not balanced right? What part of the B blade should I file on still the trailing edge?
thanks
thanks
