>I have yet to try the weighing each blade on a scale to the nearest .1 gram, having trouble finding a scale cheap enough, accurate enough and that can weigh enough weight.
It would not help you much anyway.
The torque from a fan blade is your good old foot pound, not vanilla pound.
5 grams near the spindle makes little difference compared to 5 grams out at the tip.
You need something comparable to a tire spin balance computer.
>balancing asymmetrical things (five blades)
Actually, five blades are symmetrical when spaced 72° apart.
