201Mooniac Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Anyone have recommendations for a CA prop balancer, either a shop or traveler, bay area is preferred but willing to travel. I had my prop balanced once since new but it is seeming to not be as smooth as I would hope. Top Gun didn't have any recommendations for me so I was hoping someone on the list would. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skates97 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Jim Fackler (discussed in that thread) moved I believe to AZ but still travels to CA a few times a month. Planning on having him do mine after I get the new engine broken in. I've used him twice before, an initial and then again years later after I installed the Powerflow Exhaust. He's great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeOH Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Another recommendation for Jim Fackler. He did my prop just before moving to Prescott. I'm very glad to hear he still comes to SoCal. I was willing to fly to Prescott, if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201Mooniac Posted July 14 Author Report Share Posted July 14 Thanks, I sent him an email and am waiting for a reply. I'm willing to fly so if he doesn't't come up here I can head south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201Mooniac Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 Well sent emails to work and personal email address as well as text message with no response. Any other recent suggestions for this? I'm currently going through the other thread to look for suggestions but several I've already checked are no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find several balancers here in Georgia by posting in the Georgia Pilots FB group. I assume there’s a similar type of FB group in your area as well.
