Balancing blades



I posted these pics to answer a question on HeliFreak and thought I would post them here too. These are the new blades for Frankenheli.  Find the blades center of gravity (CG) by rolling it on an rod until it tilts and mark it. Then put them on the balancer, and add electrical tape to the lighter blade on its CG until they balance. Try to use one longer piece rather than a pile of shorter pieces, and make sure it covers the leading edge so it doesn't peel up.
