 Re: Prop balancing and marking.

If you want to mark the tips, just use a spray paint before you balance the prop. Here is a pic of the balancer I use.
Before anyone comments on the prop in the photo. It is one that was on the shelf just put on the balancer for the photo. It is one that got cracked and removed from service. It was saved to be used in a non-flying project. | | | | | How big that prop?
