8-20 – Tail Rotor Balance Chapter 8 Revision 3.00, April 2020
In the example above, the suggested weight is smaller than the minimum weight; a bolt and
nut, which are required to attach hardware (attach hdw). The weight of this hardware must be
included in the final weight installation. In this case, press the [F3] “Re-Solve” key to find an
alternate solution. The screen below will appear. In the “Min Hole Wt (inc attach hdw):” line,
enter the value of the attaching hardware. In the example below, the attaching nut and bolt
weigh 3.9 grams. To re-solve the solution simply compensating for the minimum hole
weight, press [OK] to display the new solution. If there are existing weights on the tail rotor
continue below to obtain the solution optimized for both the weight removal and the
minimum hole weight requirements.
The example below shows the procedure for removing any weights already installed on the
tail rotor. After entering the required minimum hole weight, press the [] key to move to the
next field. Weigh any weights that are currently installed on the tail rotor. In the example
below there were 4.5 grams in the #3 weight hole and 3.9 grams in the #7 hole. These
weights are removed to leave the tail rotor free of weight. Press the [SPACE+/-] key once to
