  • Blade balancing help please?

    T-Rex 450 - new carbon blades from a well known auction site.

    Serious wobble on spool up. High speed vibration in the hover.

    Checked balance of blades.

    One is 2mm longer than the other.

    The longer one is 2 grammes heavier overall.

    The CofG is 3mm different blade to blade.

    To balance them I have had to add 2 full turns around the blade root and 6 full turns around the same blade at the CofG. (Electrical tape)

    It looks like cr*p.

    I guess they are scrap??!!

    Caveat Emptor!!

    I guess you gets what you pays for

    That's a significant imbalance. Is it worth contacting the seller and asking them to swap? If they have a good feedback, they are more likely to want to swap them out than blot the copybook?
