Wheel and static prop balancer
in General Tech Discussion

Have you ever wanted to static balance your prop to help protect your gearbox from vibration? Have you ever wanted to balance a new set of tires? Here are a few simple tools to balance and set the prop pitch on your Rotax engine to help keep it healthy.
This wheel balancer does a great job on static prop balance and wheels. It has very sensitive high quality bearings. The model to get is the 15" axle shaft and the DU42 adapters.

Then here are two simple levels to use for that prop pitch fine tuning. It is a prop protractor and a digital 12" level. With these two tools you can easily get down to .25 degree pitch adjustments.
