Title: Prop Balancing
Post by: JanithMS on November 26, 2016, 11:52:30 am

I tested my quad without balancing props, but it was oscillating slowly.I have no any balancer. Does anyone know a method to balance props without a ready made Prop Balancer?

Very difficult trial and error.  One motor at a time.  Mark one side of the prop with a marker.  Plastic electrical tape on one side or the other.  Use accel and gyro scopes to help see if it is better or not.

Or find a straight, smooth metal shaft the right diameter to at least get it close.

When vibration causes stabilization problems, it usually causes tilt, but not oscillation.

Or find a friend that has one.  Get one ordered today so it gets here quickly or buy one from a model store.
