I hate to say this but most typical ceiling fans don't need weight balance, they need aerodynamic balance. In other words they need blade tip to ceiling hgt. and angle of blade. Bend them a little and find out!
Morb deserves credit for this one!
I've never seen it fail, till we broke one (never happened to me, naw!). So be careful.
It does work, no flying weights hitting the wall or windows.
