Barbeque Saturday
It's the beginning of the month and that means it is time for a barbeque! Please join us for a meal, conversation and pilot camaraderie this Saturday at noon at Keene's FBO.
Please note that our barbeque schedule for June has been changed to accommodate the Sonex Fly-In. In June, the barbeque will be held on June 11th (2nd Saturday of the month). |

Dynamic Prop Balancing
Monadnock Aviation now offers dynamic propeller balancing for your aircraft.
An out of balance prop can cause vibration throughout the entire airframe which can, over time, cause component fatigue and damage. Having a dynamically balanced prop provides for increased safety, comfort, aircraft reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.
Many pilots report they did not realize their prop was not balanced. They had become desensitized to to the vibration or assumed that is was a normal product of an operating engine. It is not until after the propeller is dynamically balanced that the difference- a smoother ride and less pilot fatigue- is notable. This AOPA article discusses the benefits of proper balancing.
The charge for this service is $250. Please contact us to schedule your balancing or obtain more information. |
