The last set of 22 tip weight I cut out were 2 pounds per blade. held in place on the front spar by if I remember correctly, 4 quarter bolts.
When you "cut out" the weights was this by drawing with a specified material and were bolt locations on the weights deliniated by drawing. The reason i ask is that if the weights are not properly positioned and the static balance of the blade not verified you could run into several problems:
!) Rotor spanwise imbalance
&
2) A serious change in the pitching moment of the blades
PLEASE EXPLAIN THE TERM "CUT OUT"
If you in fact removed the 2 pound weights did you replace them with heavier weights in the same place? This too can seriously effect the pitching moment and the dynamic stability of the blades
as well as possibly effecting the spanwise balance of the blades.
