Applied Physics: I have a problem with my wind wheel. (feddit.de)

All blades have the same size, 36cm long, aerodynamically well shaped. But. The first weighs 120g, the second 125g… And the third one 210g… This is a small problem. So what are my options now? Making a new blade would be the last option, but do I have any other options?

Maybe I am missing something, but just adding weights to the lighter blades to balance everything out seems be the solution.

There are lots of how-to's out there for how to balance ceiling fans with weighted clips, you should be able to adapt the process to your specific needs.
