Hi all,
At 80 hours on my -7, I had the prop dynamically balanced. Figured I'd share the results...
My engine/prop (YIO-360-M1B / Hartzell BA from Van's) was pretty well balanced from the factory at .09. But, balancing down to .02 made the aircraft noticeably smoother. I can barely feel any vibration now when I hold my hand on the airframe.
Dynamic balancing is definitely recommended.
Here's a pic of me test flying the new config...
