Prop Balancing how and why!!

[@mariospapa100]

Excellent tutorial even for the most expirianced. Knowledge can be accomplished only by repeat it, again and again. Many thanks for your good video. Marios Papadopoulos Athens, Greece.

Thanks so much. Most of what we learn is from those ,"Ask me how I know stories!"

Hey man, losing weight takes time, but very rewarding. The best way to think of it is as a lifestyle change, not just a diet. You got to where you are because of your lifestyle, so that needs to be what changes. Otherwise it will just come back. I wish you the best with it, it can be difficult, but nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. That saying keeps me going, and it is very true. Thanks for the very informative video.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks so much for the kind and helping words. Yes its more than diet it is a change in lifestyle. I know this wont be easy but its more than worth while. Thanks again, I subde to your welding and metal working site. Please subded to mine and check on my progress from time to time!

Great video as always! Good luck with the weight loss, it will be worth it.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks so much!

[@Jack-gy7cs]

I was sure you were going to take too much and have to sand the other side. 😁 And I just ordered the balancer. Thanks for the insight and demo.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

No I was not going to sand off that great yellow paint.

Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Buttermilk3696]

Thanks for this tutorial!! How about a video about the tools in the toolbox you take to the flying field for incidental situations that can be quickly fixed and keep you flying?

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Great suggestion!

[@richardoneill1965]

Excellent video very interesting and informative thank you,i have always wondered how you actually balance a prop. Next purchase will be a prop balancer 😀👍🔥🛩️🇬🇧

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jdpaslRC]

Nice to know. Easy to do a prop balancing!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

It sure is!

[@FlankerTanker]

I use a combination of reinforced tape , or scrape along the trailing edge of the pro with a scalpel, or a smear of CA glue applied to the back if the prop - sometimes it can be a combination of these to get the balance right - depends how much it is out of balance...

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

All good methods , I just want people to understand the importance of it. I would hate for someone to make same mistake I made with my night brave.

[@FlankerTanker]

@@FatGuyFliesRC absolutely agree - it must be one of the most over looked items in Aero Modelling these days -

[@muskybob8726]

great clip! thanks! my onboard cams will improve! i'm going to order one

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Glad I could help!

[@JCO_RC]

Awesome will do,

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Cool something I may not have mentioned , make sure all is still, no fan or anything blowing near the balancer.

[@JCO_RC]

@@FatGuyFliesRC will do, Thank you FGF.

[@JCO_RC]

@@FatGuyFliesRC I got a du-bro prop balancer, i lightly breathed across the prop and she spun, Thank you for the advice and tip. love your videos.

[@richardhensley8281]

Can you show us how to balance prop vertical and horizontal thanks

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Well this is the only way I know how to do that sorry.

[@kurtmccune9141]

Thanks for the work.. What grit sanding block are you using?

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I honestley dont know. Those 2 blocks are super old. 1 is fine the other medium but I dont know the grit.

[@buckreynolds1779]

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

You are welcome.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

@@FatGuyFliesRC thanks for the reply. I have 380 and 1000 and up. guess ill start with 1000 see if it does it in a reasonable time

[@SuperJayJoe]

You've forgotten to balance the prop hub afterwards. That's the most important thing! Please do not sand painted props. Ruins the look☝ Spray them with clear varnish on the back instead and wait until it dried. Never sand.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Cool tips thank you.

[@aragorn318]

If you watch this guy in the video at 8:30, he even gets the prop to stay in the vertical position. He even put CA glue and kicker on the hub: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYnYf6GPhrRlqZY

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Great little tip for glue on the hub. I always just sand a prop end but so did he. Bottom line it balances and helps prevent damage to motor, mount and the over all performance.

[@richardhensley8281]

Looks like that prop was way out of balance.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

It was that is why I choose it to demonstrate.
