Wow, you guys are great. I’ve learned a lot in the past 2 days. Really appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge. You can’t find information like this everywhere. I’ll let you know how the balance comes out on this. Thank You.

I found it. Thanks

I hate being dumb, but I don’t know how to find post #9

Is there a video or diagram that shows where exactly you are talking about? And why from each blade? The blade on the far side in the video seems to be the heavy one. I’m still in the learning stage. Thanks for the reply.

This is great. I emailed APBA Propeller Magazine telling them what I was looking for. See what they come up with. Surely this info is out there somewhere.

Thank you. I’ll give that a try

Back in 1991 at the APBA Nationals in Mosby, Mo., I won the Scale Unlimited class. I’m trying to find any documented information on this event. There was also a boating magazine that covered this event and was pictured in this magazine. Any info I could get my hands on would be appreciated. Thanks.
