BLADE BALANCER INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the

Heli-Max Blade Balancer. Flying with accurately balanced

helicopter blades is critical for vibration free operation,

reduced maintenance, and more power from smoother

rotation. Your new Blade Balancer is capable of balancing

virtually any blade with a drag bolt diameter of 2.5mm,

3mm, 4mm, and 5mm.

FEATURES

The Blade Balancer is supported on both ends with dual

6x12mm ball bearings for precision leveling. An easy to read

bubble level can be calibrated with a fine tuning brass dial for

dead-on precision. Blades can be balanced on a non-level

work surface because of the sturdy, pivoting base.

USING YOUR BLADE BALANCER

Prepare the balancer for use by rotating the brass

adjustment dial until the bubble in the vial indicates level.

Make sure that the blade balancer does not move during

this process.

The first step for balancing is finding the center of gravity

of the two blades. Place one blade onto the balancer with

the leading edge against the side with the level. Shift the

blade on the balancer until the bubble indicates level. The

middle of the black balancing tray is now at the C.G. of this

blade. Mark this position on the blade with a felt tip pen.

Line the ends up of both blades and transfer the mark you

made on blade one to blade two.

Position the blade with the transferred mark onto the

center of the balancing tray. In order for the C.G. of both

blades to match, add balancing tape or electrical tape to

the lighter end until the bubble indicates level. If the ends

of the tape overlap, be sure that the overlapping end

points to the trailing edge of the blade.

Your Heli-Max Blade Balancer includes (4) different sizes

of blade mounting plates and a nylon mounting bolt.

Select the mounting plate that best fits the holes in the

blade grips. Secure the mounting plate and two blades to

the balancer with the nylon mounting bolt.

Add tape to the C.G. of the lighter blade until the two

balance according to the bubble level. Using a different

colored tape in this step will help with remembering the

two types of balancing done should adjustments need to

be made in the future.
