I see reference to statically balancing a wood prop quite often and the use of paint to balance. How is a metal sensenich prop balanced? I would like to statically balance mine.

Thanks

Balance

You would do it with washers on the prop hub bolts or drill into the backplate of the spinner, which I hate and won't do. It would be better just to do a dynamic prop balance, plus would get better results and faster. If the prop has nicks or dings from rocks then you would file them smooth, then file the other blade to balance it. I won't file a new prop.

Why *not* paint?

Paint

Paint wears off, washer don't.
