Default DynaVibe Prop Balancer Rental

I've heard of folks renting the balancer for 5 to 7 days in other forums but haven't heard of anyone here doing this. Is there anyone that does this on VAF?

If not, I'm thinking about buying the GX Version and would like to know if there are any interest on this forum for something like this? I have no intentions of "making money" so if someone is already doing this I'm happy to rent it once every 2 years or so.

Thoughts?

I think there are a couple of folks on this forum who do prop balancing and live on the South side of Atlanta. Vic and Vern, IIRC.

But if you get one, can I borrow it? ;-)

If you are just wanting prop balance, I would not purchase the more expensive balancer. If you just want the split weight calculations, I would opt for the Aces Pro Sport.

Our EAA chapter owns one, available to members of the local chapter (which you can join for $50).

I would rent it from you. I had an ACE sport and played with if for a time. Balance my 9 and a friends 152. Put all the supplies, scales ,tools and etc you need to actually do balance work together and sold it to an EAA chapter down around Carrolton Ga. Not sure how they lend/ rent that out now. Thats been 5 or 6 years ago.

Default rental

go to the kit fox forum and do a quick search...there is a gentleman there whom rents his for 5 days for $50. He has a list and will provide instructions for payment and where to send it next.
