I didn't bother balancing my blades from my Hawk kit, as i had read in magazines that most blades are balanced pretty well before packing. Granted i did order a blade balancer and will balance my blades as soon as it arrives.

I had very little tracking issues, if any (it looked pretty clean, maybe a degree off...) but it flew just fine.

The nut on the end of my engine, clutch, and fan assembly also only threaded about half way. This didn't seem to be a problem at all, just make sure you put red threadlock like they tell you to. I had to take it off when i broke my cooling fan (where the start adapter meets the fan) and that nut was held very tight, even with only half the threads.

Since i got grounded from my broken fan i've gone through all my links balancing and adjusting them to be where i believe they should be (90* everything, balanced everything). Practically all the factory set ones were not balanced and/or otherwise wrong. I wouldn't suggest adjusting them unless you know what you are doing though =D. I don't think a single link on my heli is at the length the manual says it should be anymore.

I'm sure Syclic will check in on this thread and he knows about the Century line but I'll say this, ALWAYS balance wood blades.
