I bought a Tailwind W8 in August. Has an 0-200 for power and a Warpe Drive ground adjustable 3 blade prop. The protractor came with it. This video answered the questions I had.

Seems like a jig made to go on the flat face at the hub, and and adjustable outboard portion on the TE/LE of the blade would be simpler, maybe supplied by the prop manufacturer.

I think you should also be checking the 'tracking' so assure the blades are all going through the same arc

But a propellor has a helical twist... Closer to the center has a greater angle of attack... further at the tip has a shallow angle of attack.

What is the theoretical distance (as % of total prop length) from the center of hub for setting pitch?

Good information, but way too much explanation. I hope most people don't need to hear the same thing three different ways... If they do they probably shouldn't be learning about balancing a prop lol
