Never really written a review before, but here goes...
First of all, I would like to say I am not sponsored, given any special discounts or have any association for doing this review. Just thought that I'd share my experience with everyone.
I got a set from Pang (HeliGuru) after hearing all the rave review from those who have used it. Was a bit skeptical at first coz stiff blades tend to bog more. But after trying them on, I was pleasantly surprised...
My Test Rig are follows:-
Align T-Rex 600NSP
YS 50ST Engine
13 Degrees on Collective
9 Degrees on Cyclic
First off, these blades have a narrower chord compared to blades like the Radix 600SB which I was using previously. Secondly, they are very very stiff. Stiffer than the 600SB and about the same as the V-Blades TST.
I started off the test by doing a couple of tail down and aileron tick toks and to my surprise, they did not seem to bog as much as I had anticipated. They do bog just a wee bit more than the 600SB but nothing as much as the V-Blades TST which I tried out awhile back.
Next I started doing some FF and I found that they seem to be more stable than the radix and does not exhibit the tendency to pitch up.
Lastly, I tried a couple of rainbows and tailslides. Really love the stopping power. Definitely feels more precise and responsive.
Overall, I feel that these blades are one of the best I've tried so far in terms of performance (at least for my flying style). Price (based on current promotion) is relatively close to the radix.
Only fault I can find (if I wanna be picky) is the aesthetics. Paint job is not as good compared to Align or Radix. Found imperfections like tiny pinhole sized pock marks on the surface of the blades (Dirt gets trapped in the tiny holes) and the leading edge of the blades are not painted properly. Other than that it's really hard to find fault with these blades.
So there it is...my first review.
I'm not a professional so, if I missed out or misrepresented anything I apologies for that. Just wanted to share good stuff with everyone. I am also by a longshot a very good stickbanger. Perhaps the more aggressive 3D guys like Edmond22, Rgoh & Chester can share their views since they also use these blades.
On a side note, props to Pang. His support is exceptional. (He made the effort to deliver the blades to me at 9:30 at night even though he needs to go back for his reservist)
