Jay,
Funny you should ask: I had mine balanced yesterday, for the first
time. I am pleased with the results. Cost was $150. from a mobile,
comes-to-your-plane service man. He also spotted something no one
else had in 4 years: up high under the cowl on the passenger side, a
piece of baffling was hitting a longeron & tranfering engine vibe to
the cowling, in addition to notching each other. He said he has
learned to look for that as "it is very common to find on Ercoupes."

6a. prop balancing

I was wondering if any of you have had your prop dynamically balanced
and whether you are happy with the results. I have just completed
repairing my '65 Alon and am considering having this done. I am an
A&p IA and may also consider purchasing a balancer to add to the
services I can provide to my customers but do not want to spend the
money if it is not worth the results or if there is not a market for
the service. I would imagine the service would cost around $200-
250? Thanks. Jay
