- Just a quick check to see if anyone has had their prop balanced near SW Michigan and would recommend them.

Thanks,
Tim

Tim,

John Conrad at Three Rivers does it. Also the shop at Marshall (can't remember his name, Craig?) does it too.

Jim,

Thanks! I'll give 'em a call. Appreciate it. I'm new to this area, but from google maps 2c5 looks like a great little airport. I live in Plainwell and am based at 35D, no room at the "inn" in Plainwell.

Have a good weekend,
Tim
35D

I just wanted to close this out. I had the prop dynamically balanced yesterday during the annual, we took 35g off one side of the fly wheel and added 9g to the other side per the computer and it made a world of difference. Adding the prop leading edge guards earlier apparently threw it out of balance since it was last balanced 5 years ago.

Thanks for the help,
Tim
