Dynamic Prop Balancing
Looking for help with dynamic balancing on my RV7A with 0-360 and fixed pitch.
I only have about 10 hours TT and I am located in western MI. The local FBO in this area do not seem to be to interested on working on experimentals.
Thanks Steve

Have you contacted the local EAA Chapter?

Yes. I am a member of the local chapter. Part of the problem is I am in my 40 hour test phase and due to Lake MI I am quite restrictive with my travel distance. Does anybody know if I can get a waiver to travel outside my assigned area to get this done?
Or is there anybody who will come to my airport which is 3GM?
Thanks for your help. Steve

We have someone in our Chapter that does prop balancing, but it looks like you can't get down here for another 30 hrs or so.

Thank you for the reply. I was hoping to find somebody in my area or outside of my area that can travel. Would of course reimburse for travel expenses and the balancing. Steve

There was a member on this group that had a DynaVibe that he rented out. I paid him, he shipped it out, I balanced my prop and return shipped it. I looked but am unable to come up with his contact info. Maybe someone who owns one could help you out in a similar way.

I'm the guy
I'll rent you mine. Send me an email and we can make arrangements. I'm currently at the NASCAR race in Bristol but I could ship it out Wednesday if you want to rent it. Thanks
