What does each thing do!!! I am particularly interested in
A)Blade Balancer--on how many axis? (Carbon Blades need balance?)
B)Tach-why do you need to know the RPM's of the Head?
C)Pitch Gauge-found out what this does in a book I purchased, but insight is always welcome
D)Tracking Tape-I assume you put this on the blade to "Balance" it...correct?
A) usually a set of carbon and fiberglass blades do not need to be balanced.
B) You need to set-up the head speed to remain constant, it's like drive a stick shift, you use the right engine rpm for the right gear.Same with a heli , if you try to pull to much pitch without enough head speed you won't get the desired climb or performance you want.
C) All setup starts with adjusting the pitch.
D) yes and also to see with blade is out of track.
