Mark,
Your web-site mentions that the prop balancer is no longer available to EU customers, does that mean that it could still be sent to N.America ?
Not in my budget at the moment, but something that I would like to own.

A few other thoughts:
The Airmaster probably has the best engineered hub of the propellers discussed.
The Airmaster for some time has had a problem with introducing noise into the radio/intercom when the pitch changes and I believe the factory were aware of that and had a fix - perhaps people with Airmasters can confirm/deny this.
Smart Avionics has now sold more than 120 constant speed controllers and I am only aware of 1 unit failing in service due to a component failure.
If you want a smooth prop - balance it!

Hi Dave,
I have stopped manufacturing the PB-1 balancer but I do hope to have a replacement available before too long.
Cheers,
Mark

The EUROPA club has its own prop balancer which is available to club members
for a small charge.
Because it is quite tricky to setup and difficult to interperet the readings
(ie: you need training to get the best result) Pete Jeffers, the resident
expert keeps the kit and will come and set it up for you. You need to
balance the carbs beore hand as this affects the readings.
Pete balanced our prop last year and the whole procedure took about an hour.
I dont have his number but it is in the Europa Club mag somewhere.
