Had my catto 3 blade cleaned up and painted. Added leading edge tape to hopefully help guard against erosion from flying in rain and off a grass strip.
It does not seem to be as smooth as I remember it being before the paint and leading edge tape.
There is a Sabre extension on the prop. which puts it pretty far out in front of the ring gear. Is there any reason I should not be able to help balance it putting weight in the holes on the ring gear? The person I talked to about balancing my prop said he thought the Sabre might be a "harmonic balancer" that might cause a problem. I did not build my RV7A. Looking at Sabre's website, I don't see anything about them making "harmonic balancers"?
