Are you saying that a 10 MPH breeze causes a perfectly balanced prop to vibrate
noticeably?

Nope... What happens is the wind gusts during the actual balancing
operation will affect the unit from stabilizing and giving you a good
location and amount of weight to add. You can balance in the wind and
get close but why not get it perfect. If there is a row of T hangars
or something to block the wind just get behind them. No reason to not
use a wind break,.. YMMV

How long does it normally take, running at full RPM, to get a stable reading on
one of these balancer systems?

The machine tells you when it is getting a good reading (usually after about
30 seconds or so at power depending on conditions) then you hit the record
button and and 3-4 seconds later you have your reading. I am not sure if we
are talking about the same machine, ours is an Aces.
