Blades

I have no personal experience with them, but, a guy at my field flies them and says they are pretty good. Not quite as stiff as say a V-blade. But, half the price. He's never had an woof or out of track issues with them. He continues to buy them SOOO they must be alright.

I Have Used Them

These blades are 99% fiberglass, but they have a carbon fiber strip running in them for added strength. The are ok blades for the money. But, you cant even compare them to V-Blades. -Steve

Woodies

I'm sure they would have to be10 times better than woodies, and Better for the budget.
Do they come balanced?

Blades

I've seen the guy at my field take them out of the package and bolt them on and go with no problems.

No time

Sounds like my type of blade. "After a MS Carbon blade crash" I'm leary about spending the big bucks until I can cut grass without a crash.

Yes they come pre ballanced, and yes they are mostly fiberglass. I have a set on my Raptor (550MM) and they are just fine. They make a little "whisper" noise while in flight. But they do aerobatics very well. They look identical to the blades that K&S makes except they are bright white instead of a bone white. I checked them for ballancing before I threw them on, and all was A-Ok. So I use them. I got 2 sets of the 550's from Century for $75.00 with free shipping. So I would take a look there and see what their price is. Becouse if they are getting $55.00 a set as well they will ship them to you for free. Might just save you some more buckage. Know what I mean? I like mine. Hope you like yours.

Build it, fly it, crash it. Repeat as often as needed.
