Balance rotor blades

[maalse]

Any suggestion on a good blade balance tool for the v120d02s? Are there any tools that even can help balance the tail rotor? Or does anyone have any good suggestion on how to balance these small and light blades?

the other simple way without tools . is to remove the main gear, and place the heli on its side like this photo below have the blades align and give it a spin.. add tape where it needs it so they have to be level..



here its with taped added and level..



you could do the same with tail gears remove the gears...
or for more accurate buy the balancer...but this way you balance the whole rotor head.wich i think its better...

I use the razor blade/main shaft balancing method to find CG, and follow up with a very nice (and cheap ~9 bucks) weighing scale that reads in 0.01g intervals to get the exact weight right between both blades by applying some tape right at the CG.

Here's a link to the weighing scale if interested. I find it a very nifty tool for weighing all the various stuffs on our small birds where weight is a crucial factor.
