how many of you balance your props, or even check them for balance?
Are they usually OK straight out of the factory?

FWIW, the method above works with any prop balancer. I have the both the Du-Bro prop balancer and the SpeedyTM prop balancer. I prefer the SpeedyTM balancer since it's ready to use out of the box and contains the needed balancing rod. The Du-Bro prop balancer needs to be put together and it's not easy to assemble because it's not well made. It works just fine though after it's all put together.+1 for the Dubro balancer mentioned above.
