Finding the Center of Gravity of a Main Rotor Blade
Single-Edged Razor Blade for a Knife-Edge.
Piece of tape will protect finish, placed where the blade should balance. (I don't usually use the tape, it's here so the "X" will show up better in the pics.)
Blade at 45 degrees to knife edge, balance the blade. Applying pressure will cause razor to mark the tape.
Turn Blade 90 degrees, balance again. Applying pressure will cause the razor to mark the tape.
Center of Gravity is where "X" marks the spot....
