what is the razor blade for?

I have been balancing my props since the 1970's, but an old dog can still learn new tricks, and I learned something from this video. I have an original High Point balancer, I'm sure you are familiar with it. The Dubro looks very similar so it must be an excellent tool for the money.

I think you should do a Part 2 of this and show how to balance spinners and also note for the car guys they can balance nitro flywheels and also their wheels and tires, and boat props can also be balanced on it. :-)

In some plastic prop hubs where there are hollow spaces I use modeling clay to add weight. I never saw the vertical drawn into four zones but now I understand why balancing has been vexing to me - it's not just the tip weight. Great job guys.

Horizon REALLY needs to caption its videos ..

For 3 reasons ..

1) Lots of folks ( Myself included ) may watch videos where audio is not an option ( At work , during breaks and such )

2) RC is an international hobby. It is very easy to translate captions into other languages ( Google / you tube has very easy tools for this )

3) What about the deaf molders ?? I am sure they would like to take advantage of this knowledge ..

Thank you! It's wonderful to get this kind of instruction as I move from noob to novice.

Great informative video! This jig is available at LHS for about $23.00. I'm getting one. Thanks for taking the time to show this...kinda separates Horizon from the wannabes.
