We use the Microvib and its perfect. Good interface, smart learning algorithms. Logs all your balance runs, good for reference.

And it does it all from main, tail including fenestron, cabin hammers (You do have to buy your own big hammer to wack them and a bucket of water)
Been able to get a fenestron within or below .1 in 3 runs.

I was so impressed with it I bought the kit,
It made my 120 smooth as silk,
The underfloor weights were the ones to master to get them in tune, very easy to do with the microvib.....

With reference to your "underfloor weights" or "hammers".

It pays to check your RRPM is correct first.

Inherent in the Arriel and Arrius 1 FCU is a drift in the RPM with fuel SG.

So as your mean fuel temperature shifts with the season so will your RRPM.

The NR Tach is not accurate enough to see the difference - use the MicroVib Tach function.

Unless you have changed things in your aircraft drastically since it was built the hammers do not shift - it is the RRPM that has moved.

Playing with the hammers is a last resort.

Yes shame, I saw you were only up the road Steve, and it's sat doing nothing ..... Can't you cancel it ?
Hammers were found to be out, I know it drifts with OT, so in winter I take it back to maintenance to have the anticipator adjusted by 1 degree which puts this back to perfect..
I tell you it's the smoothest 120 around ... As ray Jones will tell you ....

Hi Steve,
Does the gazelle have the hammers under the floor ? If it does get yourself a pretty heavy rubber hammer ordered.... You'll need one to wack the weight with ...

Not a sand dean blow hammer though ....

Regards
Daz
