Re: how to balance a 3 blade prop
Simply remove weight from the heavy blade/s until it will hold position on the balancer regurdless of position.

Re: how to balance a 3 blade prop
balance the same as a 2 blade..... just find which blade/hub area is the heavy one and adjust appropriately

Re: how to balance a 3 blade prop
Yes and no, balance the blades the same you would on a 2 blade with the prop vertical on the balancer. There really is no way to balance the hub and it isn't needed anyways. Once the prop will stay put on the balancer in all 3 of these positions you are done. Shawn |

Re: how to balance a 3 blade prop
nope, because the two blades are at 120 degrees of the horizontal blade, their CGs are closer to the hub and the static blade length is shorter.

Re: how to balance a 3 blade prop
Think of the prop as a disk. A properly balanced disk has to be able to stay in the same position without rotating right? Same with the prop... Makes sense? Doesn't matter how many blades there are, you're just trying to center the center of mass, if you will.
