Quick question for you guys. I spent the weekend tuning up the B400 since wind and rain had me grounded. In trying to balance and CG the baldes, I came to the conclusion that they were just too far apart and too much tape would be needed. So today I bought a set of Align 325 mm blades (woodies). It seems to me that the thichkness is smaller then those of the B400 so they are looser in the blade grips, maybe about 1/16" smaller. Do you think tightening the blade grips down on them might be pushing it or should I maybe look to shim them instead? As a side note, these Align baldes were nearly perfect right out of the package.

I have to use 'shims' or in this case small thick washers that came with my Microheli head.... For all my blades, I must or the result would be exactly what Dave just said... It works great and the bird still tracks to the tee, with no vibration issues or anything...Like I said, these washers came with the Microheli gear. Maybe you can figure something out that is similiar to this also........
