Stock Blades vs. Carbon Fiber

[Adimuzio513]

If it is fairly close, I will use about a 240 sandpaper. If it needs a great deal, I will light scrape with a blade the full length and width then finish with sandpaper.

Thanks

This is all great info..

So what happens if the blades aren't properly balanced? The video looks like crap (like now)? Or is it worse than that and it's a flight problem that could cause a crash?

How big a deal is this?

Thanks

Not that big of a deal....it reduces vibrations, which could clean up the jello effect some.

Wow looks like I need to buy one more thing, that's what I get for assuming. I figured being marketed to new folks and sold at best buy they'd have them pretty close like phantoms. Should have known since they don't feel like real high quality material. Thanks I'll be buying a balancer and checking all 8 I have I'll let you know that goes. What are opinions on taking or adding material? Which seems best to guys with experience is shaving like this the best option, I'd think so but can't hurt to ask?

Uh, you should balance your phantom props too. They never come balanced.

I prefer to add vs remove material, but whatever you find easiest is fine.

I use thin coats of clear nail polish to add weight when balancing.
My props that is...

Never really noticed an issue on phantom beside the carbon fiber props I bought that claimed to be balanced and were so bad my phantom was uncontrollable I just gave up on those. Being that p2 and solo are the same thread I'll throw those on as well then. Thanks

I do something similar except I use crazy-glue. Drys pretty fast.
