I own both the Top flight magnetic and this unit. One really good idea with any balanced is that when the balancer is new , make a calibration prop. I found extremely small bends in the rotating balance rod will cause havoc. I use the calibrated prop to check the unit occasionally.

@FryerOfTheTire - Yep! That's completely normal. You don't wan't the 6 hex nuts slipping around or falling out, so the tighter the better. Try using a "c" clamp, a pair of large pliers, a bench vise or some other form of clamp. Just be sure the nuts are lined up properly in the holes before you apply pressure. We used a small c-clamp and that worked perfectly.

The magnetic balancers are more sensitive, that's why the Dubro seems easier only because it is less sensitive than a magnetic balancer. I've balanced many props on the Dubro only finding they are not fully balanced when put on the magnetic balancer, also the magnetic balancer is far more sensitive to hub imbalance.

@MrDogend - That is correct. We're putting together an APC prop balancing video to show how to balance APC props specifically. It'll be up in a couple weeks.

@brantwinter - They should fit flush. We had to use a "c" clamp to compress them fully into the sockets.

I have one of those balancers and my heli 450 clone blades will not fit on the arbor so the only thing I could do was balance them through some stacked cd cases with a locking bolt between the two blades and did it that way. Got is as close as I can get it :)

It is my understanding that APC props have a precision hole on the motor side of the prop, and a nonprecision hole on the forward side of the prop. When installing the cones of the prop balancer, the tapered side of the cone should be placed on precision hole only. The cone on the forward side of the prop (the nonprecision hole side) should be placed so that the flat side contacts the prop. Not the tapered side as shown by this video.

You confused me when you said the back side. The back of the blade is the part not attacking the air. The side that hits air is called the belly. Little technical glitch otherwise highly useful presentation. Well done.
