More progress with the Loctite going onto the magnet rotors which I eventually set up with a depth gauge (see my item about levelling nuts
here ).

A kg of lead on one of the blades was required to get the balance right but as can been seen from the picture, its a fair way out on the blade. A quick trip to the local tyre company has provided me with 3-4kg of used lead balance weights that I'll melt down tonight to make a nice big chunk up against the hub.

With the tail complete I'm also able to show a view of the complete mill. (we have 6 cats...)

Hoping to do a trial flight this weekend - hooray!
