ya know, if we consider this to be a wood UL prop (US style),
it doesn't weigh more than about 5 ot 6 pounds.
If the prop static balances ok, but still vibrates badly enough to
cause concern, I think I would just replace it because it obviously has
a problem.
A couple of hundred bucks for a new Tennessee Props propeller is not
that bad - specially when the alternative is throwing a prop blade
in flight.
Just a thought...
