didnt find any info on prop balancing here. here is an overly informative video of how to balance a prop. the first half of the video is basically worthless in my opinion, however it does contain a pleatera of info for those that have never tried balancing, this video is how i learned to balance props

There is a whole thread on balancing props in the general forum.

Ryan

probably has posts to all the sites that have good 2 pagers on it. There's alot of good stuff out there. I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole video. Nice cabinets.

i dont like the search engine on this site, it never gives me what im searching for, i wouldn't have posted this if i knew one existed, yeah the whole video is a bit much to sit through, really no need for that much talking about what you will need. i need to read through that thread, im having problems getting my prather 220 just right, it balances out horizontaly but i cant stop it vertically both ways or like at 1 and 7, i think it is the hub that is off but im not a pro at balancing yet, and i do it with hand files so it takes me a while but i would rather do that than hack it up with my rotary tool

+1 the search engine sucks on this, theres a lot of good info here, but its all buried, to never be seen again due to a poor search engine

Cool vid, I couldent watch the whole thing either.

OSE has a lot of good info on prop call outs, selecting the correct one and Andy Kunz wrote the book on balancing. There is another one I have saved on my home computer but I'm out of town. It's nice b/c it has some diagrams. Bottom line more information is better, even if it confilcts a little bit.

No problems with the search engine on this site.
Just typed in 'boat prop sharpening' & select 'R/C boats general discussion' in the forum box & you get this & there's four links to choose from on the first page.

It's the sticky that Ryan spoke of in his post at the top of the page in General Discussion. Easy to find.
This is a huge site remember. Not just F/E boats but also planes, helis, airboats, subs, full size boats, full size planes etc. If you just type in 'prop sharpening' you'll get a thousand hits from all those forums. Just be more precise in your search parameters. A search engine gives you exactly what you ask for.

Perhaps if the moderators are monitoring this, placing a sticky on prop sharpening on this forum would be a great help to others in the future, as this is where people will most likely look for it, I think.

All the best.
Paul.
