RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!
My heli is in a million peices because there was a few things I needed to upgrade (like a new tail wire and fuse mod, and some new foam tape), and I wanted to get a weight on alot of the parts, so I just decided to take it down a bit further to weigh things. This is what I have so far.... any other things you can think of to measure while I have it all apart? I probably wont be taking apart the head to measure each peice, because an overall weight seems good enough to me, and also I have not measured the stock tail setup because my bro has it on his science fair project =P I will probably get that done this weekend. As soon as I get it all done, I'll have it avaiable for whoever wants to look at it. These weights should be accurate within 1g, and in most cases 0.5g. Let me know if you see any descrepencies
