First you will need some duct tape, and a cat...

That sounds like it would make it even more off of balance.

you can tape weights on the top end of the blades. just figure out which ones are the "lite" ones. a home improvement store may have something.

You place a few coins on the end off the blade that wobbles kind like you do a car tire .
