Just wondering what effect does heavy blades have on a heli. Can they be too heavy? (within reason of course) can they be too light?

If i was to guess, light blades would give more maneuverability due to less gyroscopic effect. It should also mean less stability. Does anyone know?

Also what about the profile of the blade. Does it make that much difference to have a big airfoil as opposed to a slim one?

Allways a conundrum. I purchased helicopters where someone has been overzealous with the locktite on frame screws making it nearly impossible to undo without breaking the actual screws leaving threads in parts and thus rendering them useless.

So the question is: Which bolts should not be locktitened and if not, what bolts should have different grades of locktite (ie strong, medium, light) I tend to use strong on feather shafts but on frames usually i do not lock tite. I am thinking about using medium/light locktite on these screws however.

So what does everyone do? or better still...
