Blade balancing
I just received a blade balancer from heli-hut and I'm not sure how to use it. Could someone please explain the correct way to balance blades. The balancer I have uses two round pieces and a rod. On a side note I had ordered some rotor blades from them and they sent the wrong length. I called them and told them of the mistake and they are sending the correct length and told me that I can keep the blades I already have too. So they are easy to do business with and quick to correct mistakes.

1st find the CG of the blade than place a mark on it
2nd install blades on balancer and apply tape on that mark for the CG of the lighter blade. That's basically it, now to avoid balancing all together buy Carbon or fiberglass blades.
