I just got a blade balancer from heli-hut. I am not sure of the correct way to use this instrument. It appears to have two round pieces that connect with a threaded rod. No intructions were included with it. I'm sure it is a very simple procedure, but I want to make sure I do it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PC of cake to use but remember its only for 30 sized mains anything 60 size wont hold straight. Take your balancer apart and slide the threaded rod thru both mainblade bolt holes then install the 2 wheels back on the rod with the cones facing inward, tighten firmly and evenly out from the ends then take 2 exact same type cans or wood blks or what ever you have on hand and place the ends of the rods on them 1 side will be heavy and droop, make that side overhang the table and just barely stick an edge of tracking tape on it , now just keep cutting pcs. off the end of the tape until the blades bal. evenly then apply the tape and your ready to track and fly.

It will be better to get the CG (centre of the blade) first before balancing the blade.
Getting the CG of each blade is just like balancing the blade itself. mark out the centre of the blade by balancing it. (ie on a sharp edge) Compare both blade to make sure the CG is the same,
if not, tape one end on one of the blade to shift the CG point so that both blade have the same CG point.
When balancing ,tape the lighter blade at the CG point.
