Prop balancing in Pacific Northwest?

Well Known Member
I just got my repitched prop back from Craig Catto and figured it's time to get some balancing done. Where's Walt when you need him?

Anyone have any recommendations for balancing in the Pacific Northwest, either coastal or inland? Given the beginning of unpredictable weather, the more options the better.

Thanks.
 
EAA 326 in Puyallup has a dynamic balancer (Dyna vibe?) if you are a chapter member, it's a very inexpensive service.
 
You could join EAA 105...

Then pay the $20 for a prop balance.

Here's the scoop from our site...


PROP BALANCING
Chapter 105 board is pleased to offer a significant program for members: a state-of-the-art propeller balancing system. The Chapter has purchased a Dynamic Solutions Systems MicroVib? II Aircraft Analyzer to add to our already robust Tool Crib program. Learn more about prop balancing, and this system in particular, at their web site.
Here's how the program works:
  • For Chapter 105 members who are current with their chapter dues, as well as National dues;
  • Member personal aircraft ONLY;
  • $20 fee for each balance job (the fee covers consumables and a reserve fund for calibration, repairs, or updates we will need over the years);
  • Managed and supervised exclusively by the Balance Meister.
  • The member assumes all responsibility/liability (the Balance Meister is only assisting YOU, as you balance your prop while he operates the equipment).
So! If you are a current, dues paying member of EAA and Chapter 105, you can take advantage of this amazing program., Best join up or get caught up on your dues, then contact the Prop Balancer (see contact list) to set up an appointment.
