e-JR Voyager E > Chipped Main blades

OK. I've had first first accident. I was hovering around on my driveway and something went wrong (not quite sure at this point) .

The end result is the helicopter tried to go on its side and the main blades started slapping the asphalt. Now there are slight chips in the very ends and the heat shrink has been pulled back. Other than that, the blades are untouched/

I have other main blades on order, but can I do anything to these to make them usable again?

thanks.

Don't !

I would never fly with damaged blades. Play it safe and change them.

NOT WORTH IT

Don't try and fly those blades its not worth it if they come apart while your hovering right in front of you.
