Dynamic Prop Balancing on Cessna O-2 Aircraft

O-2 owners, have any of you found a safe legal method to balance the props on your engines without spinners. I have the same engine and prop combination on the T-41B and would like to get an even smoother ride if possible.

Thanks

First turn the prop around..... Then see how much smoother the ride is....... :twisted:

Thanks Lynn, does he do dynamic balancing without spinners. My prop is newly overhauled and the shop did a nice static balance on it but in the past I have always had a dynamic balance done on my aircraft, made on big difference on my C-180 and C-177B.

I would imagine two improperly balanced props on an O-2 could be a pretty rough ride.

Thanks for that information, without a doubt he can get it done. Will contact him as soon as the plane comes out of paint, next couple of weeks.

Thanks again,
