OK, so you're all as mad as me. It's nice to be amongst friends :lol:

I should have said... "that blade is consistently finishing in the lower half or upper half of the circle, even if in different positions," ...since you would only be marking one blade and it might be the lighter one. But you got the idea. Like I said, someone always needs to be lucky and this...

Well, I said between 25% and 33% come acceptably balanced. Funtimegrandpa is putting the figure somewhat higher at 60% but either way it shows some are OK. Perhaps you just lucked out - someone's got to :lol: Anyway, put a mark on just one blade, and try your balance. If that blade is...

Is it possible your props are already fairly well balanced. After all, people are finding that not all DJI props are in need of balancing. On average it seems that somewhere between 25% and 33% are good enough as shipped. :? Assuming your setup is the same as gunslingers, and that there's...

Just a word on prop balancing, whether you were able to benefit from Glen's (Big Vern) rod before he stopped production, the Atlanta Hobbys offering, some other commercial rod, or made your own. Pull-up's excellent vid shows the way to go if you don't have a commercial balancer but whether you...

A real pity, though I can't blame you. For what it's worth I correspond with lots of Stateside modellers and I can tell you the problem is their end. Apparently Customs in NYC get the blame but the US Postal Service loses stuff all the time. That's why people over there prefer Fedex or UPS but...

Can't imagine how I didn't notice there was a wind turbine just behind my head when my buddy took that shot :lol: You'd almost think it was intentional. As it was ;)

The point I tried to make previously is - I think we all got your point the first time, but my experience, admittedly only based on over 55years of aeromodelling with nitro engines from .020 to 1.40 and electric motors from 20w to 800watts is that an out of balance prop will destroy bearings a...

I ordered mine yesterday and Glen has already sent me an Email saying it's been posted today. What service. A pity commercial suppliers aren't this on-the-ball :) Pull_Up Well, who else can we blame. After all, you posted the (very informative, BTW) vid. No weaselling out of it now. I intend...
