I'm looking to hire or borrow a dynamic prop balancer kit. Does any one know if there is one within the Europa Club? UK
Another suggestion is, does any one know of someone Near to West Yorkshire (Halifax) that provides a service to dynamic prop balancing.
Thank you in advance.

Hi! Richard,
Mark Burton of Smart Avionics produces a balancing kit, whether he would do
a balance for you or not I guess you could ask him?
I'LL copy him in on this message. He used to fly out of Sleap so a
reasonably local flight for you and lives quite close. I think he has sold
his Europa.
There is one in the Europa Club kits but the liability associated with it's
use makes it necessary for you to engage with Peter Jeffers :-
inspector(at)theeuropaclub.org

Bob,
Thank you for your reply’s. A fellow Europa owner has very kindly offered the loan of his Smart Avionics balancing kit. After balancing the carbs I hope to get the job completed shortly. The problem I had was the weight had dropped off the back of the Woodcomp prop. It was only held with double sided tape, and supply like this. This seems to be a common supply problem with Woodcomp. They produce a fantastic product but this weight attachment issue could be improved and will be on the completion of my balancing.
Thank you again

Well I have just finished the prop balance today.
Conclusion
First Balance the carbs, I used the Solid State Carbmate, with no issuess at all, Simple and perfect result.
I used the the PB3 from Smartat Avionics, This seems to be a tool you have to get the feel for. It gives you fantastic prop balance data, and as you +/- wight you can feel the diferencesce in the aircraft airframe. I think this will have to be a future investmentnt.
Thank you for the help and the lone of the PB3, Thank you for the PM suggestion too.
