Balancing a Quadra Q-35

I have an older Quadra Q35 that seems to vibrate excessivly which I gather was fairly common with early versions. I have heard that they can be improved by adjusting the flywheel balance. Has anyone done this? How much weight did you add/remove and where? I would assume that one would need to add weight dimetricly opposite to the crank pin. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks -Rob-

Also balanced by prop weight - refer to Giant scale Tech Tips = Don Garry, of Cocoa, Florida -- used deliberately UNbalanced propellers to enhance the performance of some of his engines.

My Q35 performs well using above technique.

A lot of other tips available under "Giant Scale & Large RC models" at Alan's Hobby, Model & RC Web Links
