Balance out the rotorblades use coule red
self adhesive tape on the lighter blade so
bath have the same weight. With this the
running of the track can be recongnized
better. Pitch-gauge and rotorblade-balance
are included in adjustmentset 67951

Assembly of Main Blades
Slightly sand both blade sides with 400 grit sandpaper to remove wood
partials. Wipe off sanding material with moist paper towel. Place equal
lengths of lead into the precut blade slots making sure they are below
the blade surface. Fill in epoxy glue and remove all
excess with a popsicle stick edge. When epoxy
is totally set, use very light sand paper to
remove any excess glue. Use the Ikarus Rotor Blade Balancer No.
631080 to balance the blades.
If necessary apply small amounts of epoxy to the tip of the lighter blade
until they balance perfectly. Lay one piece of blade covering with the
sticky side up on the table and place the blade with the underside facing
up on the covering so that you will have about 10 to 15 mm of covering
to roll over the trailing edge of the blade. When applying the covering to
the other side make sure to get the covering as tight as possible without
any wrinkles or slack. Use a sealing iron to apply the covering to the bla-
des. If you do not have an Iron, you may carefully use a heat gun. Check
the balance again and if necessary apply a piece of covering to the
lighter blade for re-balancing.
