I have recently orderd my first heli, a honeybee cp2. I've been reading these forums for weeks trying to educate myself and learn from others mistakes. one thing I learnd was that RTF, doesnt necesarily mean it is ready to fly well, so I'm now shopping for a blade balancer and Pitch Gauge, but I dont know what I'm looking for.
I have been looking at the robarts Heli Pitch Gauge found on this page http://helihobby.com/html/blade_tools.html

I have also been looking at the blade balancers on that site and have noticed that they dont all fit the micro heli blades.
so thats why I am coming to you Helifreaks, can somone out there make any sugestions, maybe let me know what you like, dont like. or give me advice on what to look out for. my main concern with the robarts pitch guage is that it will be too big for the cp2 blades.
a quick response would be greatly appreciated since my heli is already in the mail and I would like to order and receive these tools before I loose interest in the flight sim and feel confident enough to crash my heli in real life. :lol:
