@RCvehicleGuy Spinning prop makes the tape move?
-
Landing Products has a couple of propeller balancing recommendations on their website that differ from what you show and say here. First, the tool has two cones--the tapered end of one goes in the rear precision hole and the flat side of the other goes on the front non-precision hole. Also, they say remove material from the heavy blade on both sides of the tip.

under load a prop that is not following the same track will align. its the material flex that makes it track again. If you prob is not tracking by a little you can still use it

Hi, great video! I'm new to RC flying and your video is very educational. One question, why do you add material when balancing the center instead of grinding it as you did with the blades?
ThermalDream 2 months ago
@ThermalDream You can remove material from the heavy side with a drill bit if it isn't too far out of balance. Drill in the same "track" (on the heavy side) as the place I dropped the superglue. I didn't add that in the video because you can severely weaken the hub if you remove too much material.

why should it be balenced all the people ant my club say it is a wast of time if the plane is built right

@01161996bubba Balancing a prop is never a waste of time. Sure, if the plane is built strong, vibrations may not harm anything (I'm not a flyer) but a balanced prop can lengthen the life of your engine (especially non bearing engines) and perform better.
