noob question about blades

Hi, i have A Minipred ( i know ..i know) ..
I picked it up cheap and was wondering something .. it has wooden blades and i notice one is about an inch longer than the other .. is that normal ?

Might make it a bit difficult to balance them.

i assume thats a no ?

[trillian]

Definitely not normal.

Sorry, I couldn't resist a bit of facetiousness.

As Trillian said, that is definitely not normal. It just wouldn't fly. You should ensure that both blades are identical. I always balance blades before I use them.

.... not in the slightest! I imagine it'll shake itself to bits if you try to spool it up.

No idea mate, i never tried as it seemed very wrong to me .. but as a noob i thought id ask anyway...

TBH I only noticed the size difference when i took them off..
it was just a cheap heli and accessories i picked up cheap to play around with.. thanks for the help
cheers rob
