I am building a Hornet II with full Duzi head but I am having trouble selecting some main blades for it. I was going to get some SABs for it but I think I read somewhere that weighted blades are needed for a head with Bell-Hiller mixing and I cannot find whether the SABs are weighted or not.
I am far from being a 3D flyer so I'm not looking for superfast cyclic response. The only reason I was considering the SABs was because they are white and are in stock in most UK shops.
Are there blades that are more, or less, prone to boom strikes than others?
Any help with this is greatly apreciated as I am having trouble making a decision on my own.
These are the blades I'm using and really like them.
They are wider and heavier than the old stock MS Hornet blades.
MS has weighted blades for the Hornet but they're not white.
Theres also some V-blades that are pretty much identical to these KoKs but they're not white either.
I've seen SABs used with Hornets but I haven't tried them myself.

I'm running with SABs, and find them ok. Loops, rolls, inverted hovering (very stable!), etc.
