The original self-tightening props for the Inspire were often out of balance, and there was at least one balancing rod produced for them (which I still have kicking around here somewhere), from this source: http://www.allerc.com/orion-rc-b ... pellers-p-9782.html
The NEW quick-release props are manufactured to a much higher tolerance. While I don't have an adapter, I did discover that my threaded balancing rod for the self-tightening props was a light press-fit into the sleeve on the QR props. It doesn't thread into place, but it's a good enough fit that the prop spins true on the rod. Testing ten sets of new QR props this way, I didn't find a single prop that wasn't in perfect balance. As distinguished from the original self-tightening props, where only about one in four props was in balance and the rest needed adjustment.
I agree that Testing Is Good, and I imagine sooner or later there will be a balance rod for the QR props. But I haven't seen one yet. |
