i have the cheaper EPP black type 12x45 props from jDrones,
as i mounted one of the on the motor, it's clear it needed to be balanced.
as a temporary method i put electrical tape on top of one of the prop's sides,
it did the job and i could reduce the vibrations.
but how about a long term solution ?
i've read about sanding down the prop (off the surface i guess) to take material off on the wanted side.
would you do that ? what is the preferred method ?
Thanks !

Did you make sure the center hole of the propeller has the same diameter as the motor axle ?
Some propellers come with spacers that you need to install to make sure they center as intended.
Otherwise you could get very bad imbalance.
Get yourself one of these...
