Hi all,
Last post got deleted as I was trying to spell check, and it was a more informative post... I hate that soo much that I will not write it out again :arggg:
I only have experience with Blade CP Pro blades ie. $14 plastic mass produced blades. These blades were usually close to balance, no more then 1 full wrap of elect tape and was balanced.
I have some new blades for a new heli T-rex 600N sport. The Align 600B carbon fiber blades are so far out of balance its not even funny!
I used trim tape(pin striping tape) to balance them and each balace (CG and weight) required multiple wraps around the blades to get them right:wow2:
WTF
I did not use the hologram stickers.. I presume they are just for blade tracking.
What the hell?? these are $90 blades... what do i do??
Send em back to Align?
Rebalance with good ol trusted electrical tape?
Stop being a baby and dont worry about the 2-4mm bump of tape on the blades?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because as of right now.. fk aligns blades! I wont buy them if this is what I will get. (or am I daft and this is common... I dont think so tho)
P.S. for those that watch finless's videos.. he has a blade balancing video and my blades put his out of blance blades to shame... way way more tape.
*cry*
