Default RE: BLADE TRACKING

Morning Flying Geezer. i'm gonna add my 2 cents. i have read through this thread and took note that you have new blades installed. And that you have been over everything with a fine tooth comb. my honest opion is that these blades will not ''fly together''. i would try a new set if all else is good, seems like the next logical step.
Good Luck.

Additionally, I recently saw a pair of medium priced carbon fiber blades that were warped and showed the same symptoms. On track at a certain RPM, but out of track at a higher RPM.

I can set each blade at zero deg.. Then move the guage from the end of the blade to very close to the hub and it stays at zero deg.. I believe the blades are o.k.. Is there a better test.

I guess that is a good test. Your blades could be good. We took the baldes off the heli and looked at the leading edge and the trailing edge. There was a very slight bend on the trailing edge of one of them. Barely noticeable.
I think you might have missed parts of the thread. What would you suggest instead of dropping $80+ on a new set of blades? How can you determine that those blades "will not fly together" other than those suggestions and actions already taken?
