I was looking for a blade balancer ... someone recommended the Hi-Point
ones but I can't seem to find a reseller for them over the net.

Heliproz recommended the KSJ balancer just want to bounce it off everyone
here

thanks ... real newbie here ...

oh yeah just so you know I am looking for a balancer because I need to
change
the blade coverings on my main rotor blade (Hirobo Shuttle Challenge) I was
told
I need the balancer for that. The other option I was given was to get glass
blades.
opinions ??? comments ???

thanks again ...

I have one just like the picture shows and it works fine.

But when doing the "spanwise balance" it is easier to just use a small
piece of "angle iron" (aluminum really) laying on the table to find the
balance point of the blades. Otherwise you need to keep
installing/removing the blade holder pins to change balance modes.

==================== <- blade
^
/ \ <- angle iron
