We are right on the cusp of taking our RV-10 on its first flight (plane is done, just collecting the paperwork needed for the airworthiness inspection). The airport's A&P paid us a visit and asked us if our wheels had been balanced, which they hadn't. He had the tools to do the job, but then left for out of state and is going to be gone for several weeks.
How necessary is wheel balancing? Is this something I can take to a local tire shop, or does it need the services of an A&P? I watched a couple Youtube videos and it looks like I will need a number of specialty tools. At this point I'd really rather just take them to someone.
