Just had my Rotax 912 balanced with a chadwick balancer. It came in with a figure of .04 ips. Person checking balance said it was very good as is and left it alone. Always thought it seemed smooth. 52 hours so far.
That is a very good figure, we usually end up in the .02 -.04 IPS range after balancing. In my experience about 1 in 10 aircraft fall into this range on the initial run
