I personally think it's a must. It's as important as plugs an oil IMO. Want a cheap noticeable performance improvement, dynamically balance.

<p>I agree, David! I've got a Jabiru 3300 6-cylinder and a Sensenich carbon fiber GA prop, which always seemed very smooth with little vibration. However, I did a DynaVibe balance myself and found there was plenty of room for improvement! Supposedly the limits of human perception of vibration are </= .07 ips. I was able to balance my prop/engine down to a final result of .03 ips - now that is <em>smooth!</em> :>)</p>
