Hello everyone,
 
Question, mainly to Leon:
 
What are the balance values the maintenance/overhaul manual requires and what values to you go for and get?
 
I am doing Track &Balance on helicopters ocassionally and virtually all tolerances are 0.2 IPS (inch per second acceleration), though we try to get them as low as possible.
E.g. The cooling fan on a R-44, which is directly mounted to the engine crankshaft (Lyc-540), I will get easily to 0.02, sometimes to 0.015 IPS.
 
Just wondered what a Rotary requires and what you recommend.
 
Cheers,
 
Thomas J.
