    Prop hub balancing

    Good day all
    Busy to balance/sharpen my grimracer 2 blade prop. On my dubro balancer the prop are hanging exactly horizontally on both sides - So basically both blades are equal in weight. But if I turn it over to the other side, it just moves back to where it was. Seems like the hub are heavier on the one side - How do I rectify this.
    I know when this happens on my airplane props, you balance the hub by taking away a bit of meat on the heavier side - Must I do the same with the hub on this prop?

    You are correct sir. Borderline important though. If running bearings, do it.
