Ever wonder
what is involved with the process of dynamic propeller
balancing? GA aircraft often have this
procedure performed as a standard service after
installation of a new propeller or as a result
of other related engine work.
Since you install your
own propeller and engine on your homebuilt
aircraft, you too can benefit from this
procedure - especially since we use
non-certified props that might not possess the
same quality control as those required on GA
aircraft. The goal of prop balancing is to
provide the smoothest running propeller-engine
system possible resulting in pilot comfort and
longevity of the air frame/engine
components.
This video will
demonstrate the equipment and the setup required
to perform dynamic balancing on a homebuilt
aircraft. This demonstration is also
useful for GA aircraft balancing as the
procedures and equipment are the
same! |
