Cutting Blades

A couple of things about cutting blades, first off if you cant hover with the blades you got with the kit then, dont fix whats not broken learn to hover with what you got, I get ask a lot about cutting blades myself and I say to people I dont see the point, just me though.. but everyone has advice these days, second, If you put a set of standard eco piccolo blades on a HB they are a little tougher then the HB blades, and add a head stiffner you can get some good results, again if your learning to fly and you want to just master a great indoor hover the stock blades are ok. I can take a HB right out of the box install all the stock gear, only changes I will make is the upgraded motor and the collar upgrade charge the battery and left off for a full 8 minute hover indoors everytime. so if this is your goal and you want to just do so indoor flying stick with the the basics, I would though recomend getting a set of eco-piccolo blades from helihobby just because they are a little tougher then the Hummingbirds and if you crash alot, and you will at first they hold up under a crash..

Right now I am flying it out in my back yard, not enough room in my house to do it, it can be done in my house just not good enough yet.

Thanks for the tips.
