Now if there would be enough members to share, but it is a long shot for money in that neighborhood. Try the helicopter kit manufactures. There is some cheap balancer out there they recommend. At least on the newsletters you will find a reference. Start with "helicycle" - for me the best single-seater on the market. Also the ACES 4040 is way out what we need. Actually if I ever need my own balancer I would forget about $4.000.- of software for the helicopters. Generally their programs are "self-teaching" (on the 4040 you can switch off that feature....) and if you get an odd run on the rotorsystem it starts to suggest "very wild" solutions :) So it is better to just use the balance charts that come with the helicopter manuals. Your gyro has some track and balance charts? Check the 1717, maybe they have a refurbished model....

Web are using ACES products which a re considered half the price of a Chadwick. We use a 2020Turbo for the helicopters and it costs around $12.000.- with all the software for the helicopters. Thanks Thomas, I already have an email into ACES about the 2015, and 4040. I figured they'd be outa sight. I also found a place called Dynamic Solutions Systems that has a kit that is hopefully more affordable. The original link I found was from an EAA chapter that bought one for their members. I know our EAA chapter can't afford anything close to $10k, so maybe this one is far cheaper. BTW, balancing a single rotor eshaft and gyro blades would be extra reasons to own a nice tool.
