Does any body has used wood blades for sport fly?
(loops, rolls, stall turn,)

I like to know if they are ok for this.
I'm learning to fly heli, thats why i bought wood blades.

Thanks

I wouldn't even use wood blades for sport flying because it increases your chances of a boom strike. And you really can't run the headspeed above 1800. Why don't you try these? They are cheap and you don't have to worry about them blowing to pieces.

yes...you should have no issues with wooden blades for such flying style.

carbons, althought great, are optional and really only needed for extreme hard 3d as called these days.

Loops, rolls and stall turns are fine on woodies. Rolls tend to be pretty slow but it still does them.

They'll work fine, you just have to be conscious of your headspeed, and realize that they do flex.

Thanks to all for the replies.

emag remrofni: do you work in that store?

I live in Mexico, and some times is a little hard to find blades, or they are expensive. I bought the wood blades I'm using to learn to fly heli, here and they cost about 50 USD.

The fiberglass blades from Align, cost about 90 USD, if I can find it.

No I don't work there.

What do you mean by 90 USD? On the page it said it was 60 USD
