balancing blades

[loz]

ok this has just come to my attention, i have a trex 450 sport and wanted to know how important is it to have perfectly balanced blades?
i would imagine it is for advanced flyers but im only just hovering at the mo. The cheapo fibre glass ones im using do seem slightly off balance, so im curious to know is there a way to balance them and how to, or is it not worth the bother and just carry on doing what im doing, cheers for any advice

cheers challis, so once u find out what blade needs balancing with that gadget what do u use or do to correct it?

[challis349]

Use tape mate, at a point along the blade until they level up, when you tape it make sure you wrap it around the leading edge of the blade

Best to lay the blade on a knife edge and place the amount of tape needed at the balance point
