How to Balance a Propeller, RC Plane Lab

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Hands down best prop balance video I've seen. Thanks for the tips!

Well done guys!! I found that small pieces Tape works really well in the back side to balance props. That may not work well for Fuel engines. It does great for my Electric motors. i use 3M Electrical tape on the black props, and clear packing tape on all the rest. It takes very little to balance them perfect. i also balance my spinners with tape. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the tip I’m new to building so any info helps something that seams daunting to me is installing servo’s I would love to see a future video on that

Clear nail polish works well too but it dries much faster.

[@RCPlaneLab]

Another great tip! Is it fuel proof? My experience with nail polish is that it was always enamel.

[@reginaldwashington764]

So Tom , what about the wooden & carbon fiber props ? Do u also file down the leading edges on the props as well ?

[@RCPlaneLab]

Nope. Wood and carbon fiber aren't as sharp due to how they're made.

Hi, how about balancing hub?

[@dsnyder05]

Prop-erly balanced...I see what you did there

[@RCPlaneLab]

😂

[@billjones3071]

First ream your prop if needed, just lightly sand back of prop on heavy side spray paint is nuts, only paint thats fuel proof is epoxy especially with nitro

[@adamm3492]

I have a 30 inch wooden prop and spray is not working what is the next step up to get her to balance?

[@eriveraviruet]

Have you tried using Rust-Oleum or krylon clear spray paint?

[@trevorfurlotte]

Bwhahahahaha! Ron you're hilarious.

[@billjones3071]

Your not balancing the hub? Your only doing the blades, big props also need hub balanced

[@joeboherhernz8769]

Half job done. Hubs need balancing.

[@Letsroll000]

Yes and for larger props that causes you to use some different type of setups with this Dubro. My prop will not stand vertical, going to try and balance from the side of a table maybe I dont know.
