Keep your hands away from props, kids

If you're up into the big props of +12" you're going to be stuck using gasser props. Those I have never seen balanced well in plastic. Master airscrew were balanced, but afaik those aren't available any more

Balance is balance, either 0 rpm or a gadzillion. High rpm will cause more, rapid shaking therefore showing even a tiny imbalance. After I balance, I put the prop and balancer on top of my phone set to vibrate to see if it is actually well balanced

16x10x3 Master Airscrews are what the giant sea duck will be running. eventually... one day... but yeah they are still around.

I’ve got some 17x5.8 t motor props, gonna build something for it sometime.

I’ve got some 17x5 t motor props, gonna build something for it sometime.

While I'm working on the sea duck, I'm printing a 1/15 scale b-17 83" that is going to use 4 9x6x3. While researching that, I found the 3dprintlabs 1/6.6 scale f4u 75" that has me drooling and that's like an 18" 3 blade or something crazy like that. But my wife is already showing the most extreme levels of patience and I enjoy breathing sooooo.... might put that one back on the shelf for a bit.

Try buying a carbon prop for a 50 cc engine and worse yet, a carbon nose spinner.

I thought APC's were quality props.....

Depends on what you want.

 

[Mr Man]

They’re amazing at smaller props, but I believe that for super high power gas systems, others are better.

Ooh.
