    Dynavibe report:

    Easy to use, once figured out. Trickiest part was finding the little red light
    on the back that's used for setting up the reflector.

    Just finished my IO-240B with it. I never thought my plane was that rough,
    but I guess it was 2.1 ips @ 180 degrees when I started, .07 @ 248 after
    adding some weight. Interesting because my prop static balances perfectly
    so I think my backplate/spinner make a lot of difference with the balance.

    Think I could have tuned it a bit more, but too many voices saying "Dad
    can we go home now!?!". Hopefully I can fly it tomorrow. I can tell the
    difference at runup already, and I think I picked up 30-40 rpm at full
    power static as well which went from about 2250 to just under 2300

    Who get's it next? Send me an email at n85ae (at) yahoo.com with your
    address and I'll get it on the way.

    I printed out a manual and put it in the case, along with a bracket I made for
    the IO-240 for the accelerometer. I used the lifting ring for the engine per
    Bruce Lina's included pic for attaching the optical sensor.

    Finn send me an email with your address, and I'll send you a check.

    Best Regards,
    Jeff Hays

    Worked great! I've been trying to figure out the high initial ips readings all day, since my prop was static balanced. Then I realized I have some extra holes in my spinner backplate from previously having a warpdrive 3-blade on it, and now
    I have a sensenich two blade. Same backplate, new spinner, but a handfull of
    extra holes.

    Oddly I never thought it vibrated much, but it should (according to google) have
    exploded in flight with the high initial ips.

    Anyway - .07 ips now, and very happy. Thanks again for sending it around!!!

    Regards,
    Jeff

    my thought on that prop breaking is ouch. I would set up a dial indicator and check that hub coming out of the gear box. possible you had a tipper on that gear box once upon a time. meaning an old prop hit on landing or something. now the hub is bent. than being a 2 stroke maybe the bearings are going bad. I would check things out real good before putting a prop back on er.
