My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I had a little mishap yesterday and need some new blades, I was running Rotortech 515s. Are there any other blades available in 515mm? I've checked a few places and can't find anything close to that size. Not that the Rotortechs didn't work well, but @ $90 they're a little pricey. Failing that, could I use 530mm?

Mine is a stock Swift 16 with a Kontronik Tango 45-10, 9T pinion and 6S pack. Last time I checked the HS with my E-Logger it was around 2100. I don't fly 3D so if I dropped a little RPM I don't see it as a huge problem. But I don't know how much it would drop going to 530mm.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		515-560s ok. Flight times will suffer a little with the larger blades but you have good equipment that will swings those blades easily.....Ron

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		My first swift 16 had exactly the same set up using stock blades and it was just a bit too fast for my taste at that time.

That motor is a goner. Now using 45-07.

So I later went to THESE 550 since an 8t pinion was out of the question due to meshing issues. Try'em! I was not dissapointed.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The wood Aerotech 530's suggested are very good wood blades (better then some Carbon Fiber blades I have tried!!!).

If you want some great flying composite blades at a good price, your power system and flying style will work very well with these gray FunKey 530mm units. You will find they will fly much like the RT515's.
