Blade balance, wow!

[flag8r77]

I finally got around to buying a real blade balancer and I'm shocked at how out of balance some blades are. Does everyone else have the same results?

-Helimax stock wooden 285mm......almost balanced stock, very small piece of tape

-Align 325 wooden.....not in balance, required a few strips

-Helimax 325 CF......WAY out of balance, needed a lot of tape!

I think this may solve all of my constant tracking issues!

My MX450 blades weren't anywhere near being matched. It took a crapload of tape just to get the blade CGs to match, and the blade with all the tape was STILL the light blade. I got them balanced, but I likely won't be using them much.

OTOH, the Align CF blades on my new Trex V2 were so close that I almost didn't bother. The CGs matched perfectly with no tape, and the high blade was brought into perfet balance with one Align tape strip.
