corn_flake Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 I read enough great things about dynamic balancing prop. Does any one have a recommendation on a shop in CA or NV that provide this service? Quote
M20S Driver Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 Rossi Aircraft did did a great job on my 3 bladed prop in KPAO. Quote
RobertGary1 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 Stockton Propeller did mine. They do it at Top Gun Mooney Service Center. -Robert Quote

If youre around socal, I had a guy come to my airport and do it. it was about 2 to 300 bucks and made the airplane wayyyy smoother. I think he drives to the plane and then does it. Quote
Mooney217RN Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 Unfortunately Top Gun does not perform this service, but they are a fantastic shop regardless. I had to get my 3 blade prop on my Ovation balanced. Take it to Mather Aviation at KMHR, which is where Top Gun recommended I take it for this service. Quote
ZuluZulu Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 Don't know if they offer the standalone service but I'm sure Santa Monica Propeller could at least point you in the right direction. 800-421-9995 or 310-390-6233 local. Quote

MB65E Posted November 19, 2019 Report Posted November 19, 2019 Jim F. is the SoCal guy. He is the absolute best. Not only will he take the time to balance to .03ips, he’ll tell you where the vibration is coming. -Matt Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I'm surprised with the balanced engine. I get that it would be helpful to the A1A series engine but I didn't notice any difference with my balanced A3B6. -Robert Quote
