"CHINESE WEIGHT MODIFICATION" - Tail Rotor

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Does the mod have to be done by drilling extra holes in the blade holders for screwing extra weight on? 
My understanding is that more weight is required on the outside - so why can't the same effect be achieved by adding weight using a longer tail blade holder bolt with the necessary number of of washers under the bolt head to create the imbalance in centrifugal forces? 
Anyone able to help with this matter please?

	Hi there, no you dont have to drill any holes, just use extra long tail blade nut and bolts, packed out with washers or something that fits both sides. Here's a guide http://www.mycoolheli.com/chineseweightmod.html
