@@HairHelmet Okay then I really need to do that. I never once realized that was a thing. It makes a lot of sense though. Does it help the smoothness and performance I imagine?
@@wackaircaftmechanic2312 vibration, heat, and noise are forms of energy loss/waste plus the stress it puts on other components and pilot fatigue. Every little bit helps!
I took your advice, you said I wouldn’t regret the prop. We’re planning a mezcal tasting trip to Oaxaca in January but I couldn’t convince my wife to take the Mooney.
Thanks for sharing. I am going to a 3 blade prop on my 68 M20C. Will definitely balance it now.
I haven’t had to do this before but.. now I really want to.
I highly recommend it, surprising how few people balance their props at all, especially periodic adjustments.

@@HairHelmet That is quite a list! Thank you!
I am happy to see that I am not the only one who decided to opt for a MT prop for a M20C! Now I need to balance it too…

@@HairHelmet not easy to convince our spouses to use our Mooney for LONG trips…
side question... what camera are you using to record? It's really crisp, and the colors look good!
Sony A7III with Tamron 28-75mm lens, and my niece at the controls!
Great videos, nice Mooney
“0.0 is pretty good.” Last time I got that result on a Blackhawk tail rotor, the pilot asked me if the Accelerometer was still plugged in.
One thing pilots are good at, noticing when something ‘feels’ different. Even if it’s for the better it makes us uneasy!
