Are the two relative?

I found a cool way to track the blades without relying on old eyes but as I was making the adjustments I started to wonder if it was so out of whack due to the blades not in 'true' balance.

Do you guys balance your blades? I also just learned how to balance the tail rotor and did that. I am just wondering if I could find a balancer for the main blades for the cp pro if that wouldnt make a world of difference?

I cant find a balancer for these micro helis but I have a good ideal how to make one, just a matter of getting of my lazy a$$ and doing it. Are there blade balancers sold for the micro's (cp pro)?

A T-Rex balancer ( Made by Align)will work just fine. Yes it does make a difference balancing and tracking both need to be done.

okay thanks but does one affect the other?

meaning does it matter in what order you do it?

logically you would balance first since the blades have to be removed and tracking blades are on. But what if you do it bass ackwards and track them first? does it make a difference?

You balance them first, then put the tracking tape on, track them, then take the tape off. OR you could put tracking tape on, then balance them then track them and leave the tape on.
