Dynamic Prop Balancing on Cessna O-2 Aircraft

[L-4Pilot]

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.......

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,
