Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a balance job take?
- Balancing usually takes three or four engine runs to find a perfect weight solution. This can be accomplished in as little as one or two hours.

How does dynamic balancing work?
- The balancer measures the strength and location of your vibration source, and calculates weight to install at a specific location on your spinner or flywheel to offset the vibration. With each engine run, the balancer tunes its calculations to your specific airplane, making each run more accurate.

Can I use your kit on Type Certificated aircraft?
- Yes! We keep our balancer kits calibrated per AC 43.13-1B via regular testing by the manufacturer to NIST standards. This ensures accurate results for all aircraft, both Certified and Experimental. A copy of the calibration documentation is included with your rental.

Can I use the balancer to balance multiple aircraft during my rental period?
- Yes! There is no additional charge - the balancer is yours to use during your rental. Our hardware kits generally include enough hardware to do five airplanes - if you need more, just let us know. We would be happy to supply extra hardware at no additional cost.

I am an A&P. Can I rent your balancer to use on customer aircraft?
- Yes! We also include a copy of the current NIST calibration certificate for use with certified aircraft.

What happens if I can't complete my balance during the rental period due to weather?
- Just let us know and we can extend your rental period for no additional charge.

Do I have to mail the balancer kit to the next customer after my rental?
- No, balancers are returned to us after each rental for inspection, hardware replenishment, and service. Your address and other personal information will never be shared with another renter.

Do you charge a deposit to my bank or credit card?
- No, there are no additional charges or statements other than the rental charge itself.

Can I cancel or reschedule my reservation before the kit ships?
- Yes, reservations are fully-refundable. If you have a specific week you'd like to use the balancer, let us know and we'll work it into the schedule.

Can I contact you with technical questions or guidance on using the balancer?
- Absolutely! Talk to an A&P mechanic 7 days per week via phone, text, or email with any questions.
