Dynamic Prop Balancing?
 
Wondering what opinions there are here for dynamic prop balancing? I just had to replace my front back plate for the prop spinner. Noticed some others with spinners, etc. being replaced lately. Is this just coincidence, are there a lot more that just don't make it to the message board, or ?

How many out there do dynamic prop balances? I don't think I've ever had it done and somewhat nebulous about whether or not I should.

Prop Balance
 
Yes, you should have them balanced. I have a "Dynamic Balance Taster", I balanced my C172 my C337 & 4 other planes. I can tell you it is well worth the effert. If you have it done place close attention to the before & after viberation on the dash and other places.

Paul, absolutely have them balanced, doesn't take long, not much $$$, and like Fred says, gets rid of some of the vibrations. I actually do it on every annual inspection - worth it after several hundred hours of flying over the year Gord
