Collective Pitch RC Heli Blade Balance & Setup Tips
Balance Problems. I am utilizing my HDX450 CF Blades for this Tutorial, but this video will utilize to most Collective Pitch Blades like Align T-Rex ESKY Honey Bee CP2, King 2, Belt CP, Walkera, etc. The way to balance any blade is “Matching the CG” and “Matching the weight”. There are aggregate ways to balance the blades and many tools. You have to minimizes the amount of tape utilized and setting most of the tape near the bolt holes and the CG. Another acceptable tool is the “Heli-Max Blade Balancer” (HMXR4855 / .99), you can correspond the CG and weight with this tool. You can see the blue-collar in pdf on helimax-rc site. However I have used the Align “Blade Balancer” (K10289TA / 3mm bolt holes) for balance TREX 450 blades, it is only .99 and you can match weight property. I will post one video to show it. Thanks

Personal video from Mr. Dieter Schlüter’s ad hominem archive, uploaded with his permission. Rare footage of the development of the radio control helicopter, showing the “Father of RC Helicopters” in his quest to contrive the first mass brought forth model “Bell Huey Cobra”. Many of his inventions are design standards today, including: stabilizer bar with paddles (control wings) pod and boom design belt driven tail one piece hingeless centrifugal clutch raising/taking down the swashplate for agglomerate pitch For more slotted information, delight visit Mr. Schlüter’s web page at: dieterschlueter.de or for an english translation seek the Google translation tools: interpret.google.ca Make bound you see Ch2 for more enthusiastic footage!

@nguyentuan1990 you could see it better…
best…
This is anice video. Thanks
Wonderful little video and I did before this thought I new all there was to know about balancing the blades. I was incorrect. Thank you
informative but creed really man!!
Love it!
Brilliant! no need for expensive kit and not too time consuming.
very well done. i’ve seen people make this rocket science, it’s not. good vid.
i saw at first u used a different type of type but in the end u used another kind of type? why is that?
HAH, I have done that with the CPV3………
Thanks!
Very simple, very smart. Good tip.
Gracias por comentar!
muy buena la tegnica me gusto
yeah it would
I would be crazy! 🙂
The AudioSwap music list is very limited! Sorry 🙁
Good video…bad music…thanks!
ill tell you what would suck if you buy $40 carbon fiber blades and crash and break them in the first 5 minutes
Take off one blade, insert hex driver and rotate feathering shaft. Watch tip of opposite blade for movement. Thanks
Something is wrong with the head. Do you check the “feathering shaft” ??? You could have bend the feather shaft. Do you know how you can check it? Thanks
yep, actually thats the first video I saw, its great! I made my own balancer right after that, but not for the main blades, I made it for the tailblades. I have them balanced better than ever now, thanks for making the vid! I do have a question for you tho, I am having some trouble with tracking. I set it, its perfect, but then if I change to a different pitch/throttle curve it goes out of track. any idea? something I missed…. appreciate it!
Hi,
I think is the very good way using knife, but more difficult. I will make one video how I balance using knife with two blades at same time, matching weight and dynamic balance to match the CofG and showing the result on balancer.
Take a look on my other video, it is using fingertip balancer, very smooth:

I want to test helimax balancer, I will buy one of this and one tru-spin to compare.
Thanks for comment
amazing how many ways you can find the cg of blades, thanks for that rolling trick! I have the heli max balancer, but I also made my own using a knife blade strapped to a board. I actually find it more accurate 😛

Just crazy!!! Just to think… NO Gyros, No 4-1’s… Nothing… Transmitters that had sliders instead of sticks. It’s amazing how people were actually able to fly those things.
what was the guy with the stick doing?
@Fred001D01
The old heli’s seen in the video were basically unflyable. The designers had zero flying practice for the most part and couldn’t perfect their machines. Think about it – Which came first; The pilot or the heli?
Today’s models are extremely ‘easy’ to fly as evidenced by the number of models in production and the many video clips here on youtube. “We’ve” come a long, long way!
This video is referenced in the April 2010 RC Heli magazine! Great footage very cool stuff!
The guy with the pole might have deserved recognition for the development of medicine trauma 🙂
WOW. Certainly looks like a major challenge to try to fly those things.
Wonder what the new ones are like?
I think the guy holding the pole deserves equal recognition for the development of the model helicopter
