Richard,

5 or 6 pounds??? you are talking about an ultralight. I'm interested
in 200hp engine props. It is recommended to dynamic balance a prop
after you get it. A dynamic balance costs about $200+. After a few
years of nicks you might want to finish it and balance it again. One of
these devices is about $100 when made in quantities and usable for
several props.
