Hey Freaks,
Where do I drill on the fan to balance it?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

On the back side, near the edge, don't go all the way through. You may need more than one dimple on the heavy side to balance it out. The worst one I did took 6 dimples to balance.

What do you use to balance the fan. ( I mean what tool is used?)

Mercuriell · 07-15-2008, 10:15 AM

A drill bit say around 1/4" to make the dimples and a modified prop balancer to ascertain heavy points - you might find this video of interest taken from my Stratus build thread

Thanks for the vids but I have to get speakers for my computer before I can really understand how all is done. Thank you.

Ohhh, the man has a Stratus but no computer speakers. I see you have your priorities in order; I like your style!

I have a Fury Extreme. I cant afford speakers yet im having too much fun spending all my money on my helis. Fury 90, T-Rex 600e, T-Rex 450se. I'll have speaks soon I have been bugging the boss to let me buy some. She's got me on a short leash so I have to be really nice. She had to have a Jaccuzzi for me to get the Fury.
