My Posts This: Topic  Forum		that's how I'm going to set mine up. After Christmas I'll have enough money. Why did you pick Rhino though? Zippy or Turnigy seem like much better packs for the money.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		There are many good blades out there, but for high performance I would strongly suggest that you do not get the Align 610s as they have had a number of catastrophic failures over the past few years. There have been many threads in a number of forums similar to this one:

http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t539930p1/

Some even of the blades coming apart & leaving the heli in flight!!!

Go with the RT610's - not only a bullet proof blade, but the best flying ones also - track like on rails in FFF or FBF, pop type of cyclcic and great autos.

For 3D & 550 size, go with the RT560, their 550's are more for FAI type of flying though I found they still 3D'd very well, but not as well as the 560's.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		are you referring to the Align 600D blades?
Because the Align 610s are servos...

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Sorry - yes their blades.

Might be worth doing a search on the reliability of their servos also.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I've been using the blades in my Raptor 50 for a year now, and no catastrophic failures.
The thrown blade weight problem you are referring to was with the earlier models.


Several guys I know have the 610's in their 6 and 700N's and work great. Better than the 9252's for much less money.

Anyway, it doesn't even matter...I'm not going to be able to afford one of these beauties until spring.
