Heliguy Forum - RC heli forum

Hi everyone. Postman delivered my new blade balancer and digital weighing scale yesterday. I was reading in other forum that the paddles could be modified to make it lighter without spending(anybody affected by the credit crunch), so I had a go. First I weighed the stock paddles (black)



I peeled one sticker out exposing the five bars..



I cut the five bars...



Put back the sticker and weigh it again...



Now, the orange one...(note that the orange one is lighter by 1.2g compared to the black one)







To sum it up, my new orange paddles is just .2g heavier than the new black carbon paddles. I am currently charging my lipos and have a test flight tomorrow. I doubt there will be much difference in performance but at least I know my paddles are light.
