Hi folks!
I was just wondering what makes one main blade better than the next?

carbon vs. glass (we'll leave woodies out of the equation)
symetricity? (is that a word?)
brand vs. brand?

for example...What makes the V-blade "better" than say, a CMT glass blade?
What makes the CMT glass blade "better" than the Quick glass blade?
(at least my opinion)

and what are your preferences?

Thanks!

The only way to answer that is by flying them. Some respond quicker and others are smoother. Some have theirs Cord CG to far back and cause the heli to pitch up in FFF. Ask ten pilots and I guarentee you will get 7 different answers. V-Blades, SAB, Leasure Tech, TG's, are all very good, NHP Model Sport and CMT's are OK and the differences can only be measured by your own "FEEL" of their flight responce. With these brands many pilots will never know the slight differences between them as they do not have the experience to tell the difference.

At least that's how I see it.
