Well, I was able to balance another RV down to 0.01 IPS this past weekend. Had to place weight on 2 different locations again. The gentleman reported that in addition to a smoother aircraft he saw a small RPM increase and fuel flow decrease of about 0.25 gal/hr. I was not expecting much improvement in his plane since his initial reading indicated an IPS of 0.25. But he can notice. We have been balancing the aircraft at cruise RPMs if it is a constant speed and at full power if it is fixed pitch.
Still trying to understand the fuel flow, but good to hear.
