Q:

Should I get my propeller dynamically balanced?
A: Most premium grade propellers are dynamically balanced at manufacture. All other propellers can be dynamically balanced but only on special order and at additional price. Such a balance is inherent proof of manufacturing perfection insofar as blade thicness, width, spacing, etc. are concerned. This inherent accuracy is not destroyed by blade damage, making it unnecessary to dynamic balance during repair. A good static balance at the repair station will suffice as the inherent accuracy of the propeller is still there.
