Hi, I have the plastic abs blades on my trex which I have never flown. I ran the motor up last night on it and i saw the blades were not tracking right so I tried to fix it. It might be me doing something stupid but it seems like these blades dont track that well. They track fine and then a min later they are off or they track fine when looking at one end of the rotors but then on the other, they are off. Anyway, I was looking at the yellow align fiber blades for 18 bucks. Are they any good?

I got the yellow fibers, and they don't seem to work well for me. They are very heavy, and I have to go full throttle full pitch just to get it moving up, and even then it's still very sluggish.

Just my 2 cents

The plastic blades that come in the kit are almost like rubber (super flexible) If your running a bit of headspeed and making good power you'll never get them to fully track right. The tips will appear to flare!

If your willing to spend a bit, "MS Carbon Fiber Blades" work nice. They are just about the same length as the stock plastic blades. A bit short for my taste, but they do work well.

Woodies

I have the woodies that come with the kit on mine, and they were in track right off the bat! Had to do a little(very little) balancing, but they fly great! I didn't like the looks of the plastic blades and had read here on RR that they are hard to get tracked in.
