| determine nose or tail heavyHi Wayne&Chris,
Some quick questions for ya.
1. In regards to squaring the swatchplate to main mast, do you need a tool which clamps onto the mast and do visual check? Before such check, I believe you need to have heli sitting on levelled ground too, right ?
2. I always hear people doing this to balance their helis, does that really work? Take rotor head out and clamp main mast side ways on vise, so heli pivots on main mast. If tail falls to the bottom then its tail heavy and vice versa. The question the heli is balanced without rotorhead, after the head is put back on, will the balance change much ?
3. If question 2 above is okay to do, do you balance before and after the heli been put into fuse ? or only after ?
