Or maybe we can do a group rebalancing session at EGKA? :)
I’d come to that fly-in with my 3-blade 182 (subject to a chat with my co-owners)
I think we could do that, As we have control of our airfield we don’t have to answer to any other people.
Time for a EuroGA Prop Balancing Fly-In
We have just got a dynamic prop balancing kit. It certainly helps cut down the vibration levels and will have a positive effect on comfort.
Having balanced several aircraft all we have looked at have been outside the acceptable range some only just so and others horrendously so.
Obviously those aircraft that only need a little balancing are not going to feel a huge amount of difference but those that are well out of balance are really going to benefit from balancing the prop. The problem is there is no way of telling how good or bad your aircraft is without going through the process of balancing.
If anyone is interested in getting their aircraft prop balanced we are in the South of the U.K. normally the cost will be IRO £500 inc VAT for a single engined aircraft.
I have a Dynavibe Classic prop balancer (LSGY) if anyone needs to borrow it.
>>maybe organise a “group prop balancing session”
I would be up for that :)
By the way, there is also a thing called re-clocking the prop, which some of the RV pilots claim made a huge difference after having exhausted all other options.
Ha. Do you experience similar vibrations? I mean its not a big deal, just a bit annoying!
I have not done anything. Lack of time and motivation 😄
