The dash vibrates right down to my toes as I
change the RPM.
Your propeller may need to be dynamically
balanced!
Before rushing into a propeller balance, you should
consider these maintenance items;
* Condition of Engine Vibration Mounts
* Cylinder Compression
* Magneto Timing
* Propeller Blade condition
* Propeller Tracking
* Spinner Installation
* Cowling Condiiton and Security
So you have decided to dynamically balance your
propeller! Great choice!
Here is the quick run down of how this works.
* We do not need to go flying. Maybe after balance we
could go flying…
* Your plane needs to be able to run as normal.
* Attach a Vibration Sensor at the front of the engine
* Attach an Optical Tachometer Sensor. This will also verify
your tachometer readings during the process…
* Time for engine running. Normally at a cruise power
setting for about 20 seconds.
* We have already taken the vibration reading as you were
operating the engine!
* Weight is added or removed from the propeller/spinner.
* Continue engine runs until the vibration level is
acceptable
* Weight is permanently mounted.
* Notes are made in the Propeller log for a dynamic balance
and weight installation

My airplane has always
felt like this…I thought it
was normal airplane
stuff.
Is my propeller out of
balance?
Around 80% of all
General Aviation aircraft
are flying with “Out of
Balance” propellers, the
leading cause of fatigue,
cracks and other
vibration induced
damage!
We use the RPX Tech
DynaVibe Classic
Propeller Balancer
system.
AEROSISU connected the
Dynavibe balancing unit
and we ran the engine. I
had a 0.18 IPS vibration.
Everything felt normal
to me.
After we balanced the
propeller to 0.06 IPS the
whole airplane felt
better…I mean
smooth…Very Nice!
