[sheephelmet]

Brilliant! no need for expensive kit and not too time consuming.

[nathanpullen]

[nguyentuan1990]

i saw at first u used a different type of type but in the end u used another kind of type? why is that?

[SuckeroftheYear]

[cat123456789101]

ill tell you what would suck if you buy $40 carbon fiber blades and crash and break them in the first 5 minutes

[esstein]

I would be crazy! :)

[cat123456789101]

yeah it would

[NiteLiter]

HAH, I have done that with the CPV3.........

[iliketodrawstuff]

yep, actually thats the first video I saw, its great! I made my own balancer right after that, but not for the main blades, I made it for the tailblades. I have them balanced better than ever now, thanks for making the vid! I do have a question for you tho, I am having some trouble with tracking. I set it, its perfect, but then if I change to a different pitch/throttle curve it goes out of track. any idea? something I missed.... appreciate it!

[esstein]

Something is wrong with the head. Do you check the "feathering shaft" ??? You could have bend the feather shaft. Do you know how you can check it? Thanks

[esstein]

Take off one blade, insert hex driver and rotate feathering shaft. Watch tip of opposite blade for movement. Thanks

[iliketodrawstuff]

amazing how many ways you can find the cg of blades, thanks for that rolling trick! I have the heli max balancer, but I also made my own using a knife blade strapped to a board. I actually find it more accurate :P

[esstein]

Hi,

I think is the very good way using knife, but more difficult. I will make one video how I balance using knife with two blades at same time, matching weight and dynamic balance to match the CofG and showing the result on balancer.

Take a look on my other video, it is using fingertip balancer, very smooth:

I want to test helimax balancer, I will buy one of this and one tru-spin to compare.

Thanks for comment

[rstein87]

Much better now! Thanks

[ArmandMajidi78]

Is it the setup regularly same for all Heli, no matter EP or GP?

[esstein]

The way to balance any blade is "Matching the CG" and "Matching the weight". There are multiple ways to balance the blades and many tools.

You have to minimizes the amount of tape used and putting most of the tape near the bolt holes and the CG.

For this reason, the best way for me is you match center of gravity (CG) putting tape near the bolt hole, after that putting the head of your heli on "Dubro Tru-Spin Prop Balancer" to "matching the weight".

...

[esstein]

Another good tool is the "Heli-Max Blade Balancer" (HMXR4855 / $22.99), you can match the CG and weight with this tool. You can see the manual in pdf on helimax-rc site.

However I have used the Align "Blade Balancer" (K10289TA / 3mm bolt holes) for balance TREX 450 blades, it is only $4.99 and you can match weight property. I will post one video to show it.

Thanks
