Prop Balancer by Olympic Paragliding
|
This unit is modeled after the Balancer I use in my propeller repair business. It is simple to use, assemble, and set up only takes a few minutes. It can be used to balance two or three blade wood and carbon fiber propellers. Included are directions and professional tips to balance your wood or carbon fiber propeller. Cost is $25.00 plus shipping to anyplace in the continental U.S. To get yours, contact Olympic Paragliding at 360-374-9247. |
Assembly Instructions
|
In the box, you will find two longer 1"x 4" pieces and one shorter. Assemble the two longer uprights to the shorter with the supplied (taper base) wood screws. Place the shorter base piece on a hard flat surface and fit the uprights. The uprights should be parallel to each other. If they are not, adjust them before installing the screws. The holes are pre-drilled, and the screws started. To make the assembly stronger, it is recommended that wood glue be applied to the joints. Finish, such as varnish, can also be added if desired. Make sure the assembly is placed on a hard flat surface. It is suggested a weight be placed on the bottom piece to hold the assembly motionless while making the adjustments. Use a carpenter's level to adjust each spindle beam (the angle aluminum on top of each upright) until it is perfectly level. To level, insert a shim under the low side until the beam is level. Your kit is supplied with a 1" and ¾" diameter spindle shaft. One inch is commonly used on wood props and ¾" for carbon fiber. Slide the spindle into the center hole of your prop. If it will not fit, enlarge the hole using a wood boring bit or sandpaper. If you have a carbon fiber prop, use a metal drill bit (not wood boring) of the appropriate size, usually ¾", or use sand paper. If the spindle is loose, add a little masking tape to the spindle to achieve a tight fit. When adding masking tape, make one wrap then cut the tape so the ends do not overlap. Fit the spindle into the prop hole until there is an equal amount protruding on each side of the prop. |

Throttle Assembly
|
I manufacture a throttle assembly for use on powered paragliders, which you see pictured below. I could not find a throttle assembly available on the Internet for less than $100, and most were considerably more. The kill switch has always been a problem on every throttle I’ve used. The switch used on this throttle is available at Radio Shack. Their model number is 275-609, and the cost is minimal. The throttle cable is 6 feet long, the cable housing is five feet long, and the outer cover is 3 ½ feet in length. This will provide the user with sufficient length for right or left-hand application. I use an upgraded three-finger bicycle brake lever for the throttle. The lever has a built in return spring to assist in closing. For a cruise control, use the pink eraser model. Directions to build that cruise control are available on this web site or at Alex Varv’s Invention Page. So if you need a throttle assembly for your project PPG, or for a retro-fit, check this out. The complete throttle assembly is only $79.00 plus shipping.
