blade pitch
I've seen several ads for devices to measure the pitch of the blades. I'm getting a fixed pitch copter, do I need to worry about this?

RE: blade pitch
Yes it is the Honeybee 4 channel.
I actually answered my own question by reading this...
http://www.helihobby.com/html/heli_beginners_guide.html
Or at least part of it. There is a lot of information in there to sort through. Not all of it applies to what I am going to use (in the beginning), but good info none the less.
But while I'm at it, what about blade and prop balancing? They mention both in the guide, but don't really go into it too much. It would make sense that you would have to balance the blades, much like you have to balance your tires. But doesn't say exactly how this is done. I've read on this board somewhere that regular old scotch tape would do the trick.
Is there a definitive FAQ/checklist out there?
