    I would have also mentioned that you need to check "tracking" to make sure that the blades are level if they are not you may as well toss the blade as this cannot be corrected. When it comes to adding weight to the hub using CA I always worry that the CA will flow at high rpms. I have seen this happen with both CA and epoxy. I personally prefer to try and take a little material off the heavy side of the hub first.
