Hi everybody,

I own a Walkera 22e for a few months and have been flying it a little. I had two accidents during that period. Both of them forced me to change main rotor blades.

Each blade costs for me 6.5euros, which is $8.2. (I pay international shipping). So I decided I needed to fix my old blades, in order to resuse them after future accidents.

I used a pdf guide ([link=http://www.filewire.com/download.php?id=97d6ace21c6d83d71eddbfa]Balancing heli.pdf[/link]
) to balance the first set of blades. Those blades were severely damaged. The blue one's plastic has been separated and the blade was hold in one piece only by its internal metals.

I put epoxy on both of them and after it got dry, I used some sandpaper to make them as close to the original shape as I could. They are not perfect, but they follow the normal shape roughly.

So, using the device shown in the picture, I found out their CG is the same! And their weight difference was only 0.1g. After adding some scotch tape they have the same CG and Weight.

So, here comes the question: ARE THOSE BLADES SAFE TO FLY WITH?

My concern is about their “internal weight distribtion”.

Will I ruin my rotor head??

Thanks

Looking at your picture, the blade appears to have completely been broken into. I think you would be asking for a accident!
I would not use that repaired rotor blade. Not only would it cause your helicopeter to crash when it lets go, It is very possible to make a victim out of you or someone else.
Don't compromise, Order your needed parts.

Ok, so I guess I'll not use this pair... But what about my second pair? The only damage was that the end of the blades has be separated (upper from lower parts). I used scotch tape to bring them back together, in one piece.

I weighted and balanced them. Are they gonna be ok??
