Improve Rotor-Blade Blisters

Improve Rotor-Blade Blisters
If the adhesive covering on the tips of your helicopter’s blades are blistering, try this. Iron the covering down firmly, then perforate the blistered areas with a pin. Wick thin CA into the holes, wipe off the excess and smooth the covering. This causes a little discoloration, but it eliminates the vibrations and noise that blistered covering causes.
