My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I have a pair of inexpensive Align 325 Pro blades for practice, and I can't get these things to track. At zero pitch on the bench they're perfect, but under load they're nearly a half inch off at the tips(!), and no adjustment either way fixes it, although I can make it worse! It's like the tips have different angles of attack and are lifting differently. A heavier pair of inexpensive Align 325 Fiber blades (not carbon fiber) didn't have this issue. Is it the blades, or is it me?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I think if the linkages are all the same length then if the blades are good they should track,especially if you make a turn or so adjustment.

If they wont track whatever then they are bad,i have had this problem also with carbon blades that would not track or would track after adjustment to links but would go back out of track before the end of the flight.

You could try swapping them round from grip to grip,it seems silly but this has worked before for me,if not maybe try taking them back to where you got them..

I would 100% say its the blades and not you as it seems like you have done all that you can to correct them..

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		When i had my mini titan, I could NEVER get those to track. Had probably 5 different pairs, always a problem.

To hover is divine, the alternative is rather PLANE.
