Hey! I just recently TRIED to balance my main rotors and flybar. It SEEMS right but I am unsure as the blades with be able to be oriented in any direction but when I spin them again they would tend to always go to that ONE SPOT. Seems as if one of my paddles is heavier than the other. How do I add weight to the other? I put some tape to balance it out and I got it as close as I could. Any advice is appreciated!!!

I bought a blade balancer from Century, I'm sure heli-proz has them too,, supposed to come tomorrow. With those you're really sure they're balanced. As far as the flybar & paddles, I remember reading in Rays Authorotative helicopter manual to make sure both paddles are the same distance from the control arm (I think), as well as the same angle. The paddles should both weigh the same I would think. Also if they came with weights, they sould be the same size. I'm still new to this too, so others might have better advice/answers. Anyway hope this helps at least a bit
