Spinner Wobble/prop balance

[edneff]

I am going to do the balance at some point in the near future. Thanks for all the comments. If it weren't for VAF I would probably be flying a type certified plane.

I recently installed an old wooden prop on my plane and the vibration was in the "really bad" range according to the seat of my pants and my video cameras which were shaky. So I had the prop dynamically balanced. Amazingly, when the guy put his equipment on the engine, the "as found" reading was only 0.1 IPS - I was expecting a number much higher than that. The balancer guy added only 7 grams of weight to the spinner back plate and got it down to 0.05 IPS. I couldn't believe the difference that made - It seems nice and smooth now.
