well I have a hartzell prop on my RV7 and after 175 hours I was doing the condition inspection and saw I had cracks developing on the doubler on the spinner backplate. So I removed and reinstalled the doubler and backplate. I thought the cracks developed from perhaps poor edge dressing or deburring, but think I was wrong. So I called Brian Wallis and asked if I felt vibration through the rudder pedals which I did not. So he drove down from ATL and balanced my prop. We went from .335 IPS to .03 IPS. Feels so silky smooth now it amazes me. I should have balanced it when I initially installed the prop.
I am amazed how wonderful these machines are and more importantly the people associated with RV's. Top notch! I would recommend to everyone the importance of balancing your prop, Brian does an outstanding job. Brian we will go flats fishing next time you are down!
