e-Hirobo SRB Quark - Lepton - XRB Coaxial > MINOR BLADE DAMAGE
 
 
HeliHorribleHeliman - Location: Wichita, Kansas 67207 -
Anyone ever tip the wall or lamp or couch or some obstacle in your house with your XRB? I have just started cutting the damage off the tips of the blades careful to do the same cuts on each side and it works!....I still get red and great lights blinking in a hover...in fact I think the performance might be better....but this is after a few beers just now.

I don't go crazy...if the cut is going to get into the tape I just replace the blades.

Anyone have a good place to order new blades...in maybe another color other than white... Also I am looking to upgrade to COLLECTIVE PITCH...I like the TREX...would this be a good starter electric? THANKS.

I've flown blades that broke completely off. I just use some sticky tape and put them back together. They still flew all right.

I don't use the foam blades anymore so I can't hit walls or furniture anymore or my carbon blades will be toast. I've hit the carbon blades on a table and a entertainment center and the blades cracked about 4 mm. I just CA'ed them back together and sanded them down. They still fly perfectly fine.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

There is a guy on ebay that sells them sometimes. I bought i from that guys shop in Canada, the website is http://www.justar.com It's called STAR FLIGHT and their phone number is 416-424-1607. Helihobby sells them as well, but their out of stock right now. Here is the link. http://helihobby.com/html/main_rotor_blades.html After you get to that page scroll down to the bottom of the page. I don't have a picture of them on my XRB, but I can take a picture of it if you need me to? They look just like the foam blades, but their made out of carbon.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick
