Greetings,

There's an = A&P at my=20 airport that does prop balancing, and he just did a friends RV-7 this=20 morning. When he was done, I asked him to do mine. He hooked = everything up, got an rpm reading, but when he tried to actually take a=20 measurement, it would only say "error". We tried it several = times,=20 and it wouldn't work, so no balancing for me :-(

The instrument = was a=20 Chadwick Vibrex http://www.e-equipm= ents.co.uk/vibrex2000.htm =20 and it sure looks like it should work. The question I have is = whether it=20 can cope with a gear drive.

Has anyone had = their prop=20 balance by the same folks that do Lycosaurs? Did the instrument = work for=20 you?

Thanks,

Rusty

PS- Get your = engine=20 balanced David, so you won't be wondering if that vibration is the prop, = or the=20 engine. I sure wish I had balanced my engine, because now I just = don't=20 know.
