Most of the Aligns, fair few Spektrum bits, bunch of Align & HiTec servos, OBE, VD & Bar.

I use a bright orange sticker on the leading edge of one blade near the tip & another on the trailing edge of the other. Then when i spool up i can clearly see which is higher & which is lower. Most times its only the longer links that need a turn.Yes the big sigpic is coming backComment

Or just mark one of the blades near the root of it, just so you know which one you adjust. Spool her up, look at the tracking, stop the spooling up, adjust the link on the blade you marked, spool up agian. If it gets worse, adjust the blade you marked the other way, if it gets better, keep adjusting the blade you marked the same way as before untill it is right.
Job done.
What heli is it? And what blades? I'm asking because we had one of our members with a T-rex 600 nitro with serious tracking problems, we tried everything, nothing worked, we even got him to buy a new shaft, spindle, dampeners, for the head, took it apart, double checking the assembly to see if he did it right, but they were still way out. Swapped the blades over with my T-rex ESP(got nitro on my blades now!!! YUK!!) and it was spot on. Turned out the blades were way off balance. He got himself another pair, and it was all sorted.
Just something I thought I may add.....Flying T-rex 600ESP!!
