Every roll has to be driven, and any wobble you introduce stays. Moving mass out to both ends raises the prop's resistance to a change in rotation, so the turn slows to a rate you can read and the small errors damp out instead of building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balance point sits 29 cm (11.4 in) in front of the rear cap, right where the Critter's buttons are. Grip there and the saber turns around your hand instead of around some point out past your wrist. We balance each build by hand and measure it rather than calculating a number from part weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lit section is a 24 inch (61 cm) impact-resistant polycarbonate Sol Saber Tube running over an RGB Critter BT. The handle is the Critter's silicone body plus two chained Saber Hilt Extensions in aircraft-grade aluminum, which is where the length and most of the handle mass come from. Both ends wear a black silicone Flow Cap, so the parts that meet the floor are the parts designed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear weight is the Flow Cap Counterweight Kit: a steel weight that slides into a machined aluminum mount and locks with a set screw. It is the piece doing the actual balancing, and it comes back out if you want to re-tune the feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt comes apart, and every part is one we sell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing here is bonded or specific to this build. Every component threads, clamps or press-fits onto the same RGB Critter modular system, so you can change the blade length, swap the pattern, drop a hilt to shorten it, or move the light into a staff later. This is a starting point, not a sealed product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBought as separate parts these come to $381.60.
