at 1:18 you can clearly see that the screws are not round it must be photoshopped or something

@beatseeker101 Dang I was trying to fool everyone but I guess the gig is up.....you uncovered me.

Hello. I'm just getting started into this size e-heli's. While watching this I kept thing that what if you used spray clear coat to ballance the blades. Do you think that is a good/bad idea? Thanks for the vid's.

[MikeysRC]

@codyboy29108 Well in theory it could work but it would take much longer to get the blades to balance right and it would be pretty messy.

hi which wire of the motor goes into which wire of the esc please. please answer soon, thankyou

[MikeysRC]

@AfghanKnight007 It doesn't matter. Just plug them in...try the throttle...if the motor spins the wrong way just switch any two of the three wires and it will reverse the motor.

(3:24) Alternatively, if the weight is really close, you can also move the tape inward, toward the hub, rather than trim tape.

Dont use ordinary nuts or if you do dont balance the propellers on them. Balance them instead on the outerpart of the screwhead since this is round and the other side balance on the threaded part since this is also round, never on an flat surface like the scer since this would create errors in the balancing.

Great work will. Thanks a lot! you saved me the $30 of a blade balancer, and got my micro walkera heli flying better then ever (using your blade balancing method).
