    Top flight balancer

    I've been looking around at balancers, I think I've decided on the top flight one since it's the only magnetic balancer OSE has in stock right now.
    First off:
    Reviews? is it a good balancer?
    2. What size prop will it balance? it doesn't say the size of the shaft it comes with.

      That's what I used to use. Then made myself the small one that OSE sells, and is out of. Personally, I didn't have issues with it. It comes with a 1/8" shaft, that really is not that precision ground, and cones to sandwich the prop in place. Cones suck, so I made my own 3/16 shaft from a hardnened ejector pin, and precision ground it myself. Works much better now.

      I paid $25 for it from LHS, plus made the 3/16" pin. If you want it, $20, come and get it in Newmarket.

        where's newmarket? I live in ottawa so...
        I don't know of any machine shops around ottawa to get my own made, maybe i'll just wait for the orange one from OSE since I only want to make two orders, unless I get all of my hardware from kintec.

          lol, sorry, didn't realize you were in Ottawa. Newmarket is about 20 mins north of Toronto.
