balanced prop?
#1
so i have seen a few videos of people balancing two bladed props but i have yet to see one of a three blader, i could use a little bit of help with the three bladers, i dont quite understand how to static or dimensionally balance them, all i have for balancing is a top flite balancer which to my understanding is very acurate, ive gotten to the point where i can stop either one of the three blades at the top but if i leave it to spin it doesnt just stop it will rock back and forth for a little bit and then finally settle but not always on the same position, a video of what a balanced 3 blade prop looks like on a balancer would be of the most help to me if anybody has one or could make one</p>

I think the 3 blades balance about as easy with the exception that there is another blade to do and that there is not as much room to move between them. Sounds like you are close.

if it will stay at any position it is staticly balanced. thats what i balance my props too, but i use a zero G magnetic balancer wich is very sensative
