You may have missed it in this thread:

http://www.rotaryforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45836

you said that you have a lot of experience with the PB3 and I asked if we could share some data. You are one of the few people that I know who have so much experience, especially with non Eurogyro types, and I would really like to see how these gyros perform vibration wise compared to those I've balanced.

I'm currently testing the new PB4 and would welcome any feedback from you concerning things you think could be better.

PM me if you prefer.

Mike I'll get you some info on Monday. I have several students coming in this weekend.

AS of now, I can't possibly see how a PB4 could be any better than the PB3.

These may not be in the right order.

Mike, I hope this is some help for you. The system works well. I use the "Y" for front to back and the "X" is for left to right. It helps with the 2-rev shake and the tracking issues. I've done several sets of blades. Only one set did not work well. I found out that each has a different pitch. This set changes balance as speed increases.

Brent thanks for trying but it says "photo not found".

It would be easier if you email me the .sql file from the pb3.

To send files touch the menu in the top right hand corner (it's 3 dots one above the other) and select "export data" then "export points and spectra". This should give you an .sql file that you can copy into an email.

I'll pm my address to you.

Thanks again.
