I decided to re-check my blade balance today as I acquired a vibration yesterday on my 3rd tank that wasnt there on my first 2...I had to add 3 wraps of electical tape to 1 blade to get them "re-balanced"...I wouldnt think it would be normal for blades to change without an incident.....these are stock R30 woodies...any advise would be appreciated..

Balancing questions

Is a blade balancer a necessary option to buy or can one
balance blades with something homemade? Im supposed to get my
heli on wed or thurs so Id like to know what things I will "NEED" and what things are a luxury. I got the Raptor 30 kit and starting kit from heli-world and it comes with quite a bit. What about ball link pliers, CA(what thickness). What kind of fuel should I buy for it? It comes with an OS 32. Thanks!

Get The Ray's helicoptor manual. It will out line every thing you need and will explaine balancing in great deatail and not just blades but rotor heads, cooling fans, and tail rotor shafts. I got a cheap balancer and ended up buy the Kroll rotor pro after reading Ray's book. The difference between a good set of balanced blades both spanwise and cordwise is night and day. It will make things like tracking blades much easier. There are so many small things like ball link fittings and servo arm setups that will get you doing things the right way right off the bat. Read the book cover to cover it is money well spent.
