Arguing over ceiling fan balancing? You guys should try this thing called "getting laid".

One of the more time consuming and tedious jobs on the planet.

First clean the ceiling fan, then make all of the blade irons in the right shape, then if it still wobbles, it means that the blades are out of balance. Then you can buy balancing kit. I saw a video of Hunter Innova wobbling but the blade arms doesn't seem bent at all.

This is so fucking complicated I don't think I will ever understand

[tusnturn]

in many cases the reason for the imbalance is caused by somene throwing something and striking one of the blades

[chikotube]

FIRST loosen all the screws on your blade and then "cock" all the blades in one direction while you re-tighten all the screws. that way all the blades have the same "alignment" which usually solves most imbalance issues.

Thats a Casablanca Delta II if it had Casablanca blades and brackets it wouldbe fine but it has standard blades and brackets... so thats why the fan is messed up.  Casablanca uses plywood blades vs MDF on most modern fans including the blades you had on that Delta II

thank you, I had the balancing kit but was putting the clip on the blade halfway lengthwise. Obviously it was working. I will try putting it on the tip like you did, I hope I can fix it. It is really annoying.
