My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I have had a set for about a year.

They are awsome for indoor, like in your living room. They just will not break. They don't have as much pitch as the stock blades. (Meaning you will need to have a higher head speed to get the lift and that means lower flight times. they also dont have nearly as much vertial climb for manovers like fast forward flight and big banks. That is why I say they are better for in the living room.
the blades dont break when you hit something but that usualy means that you have to break something else. It is just the law of physics. That means lamps shades or something else on your helicopter.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I finally got these installed on my Quark and man what a difference. Right off the bat they tracked dead on. Took it for a spin outside and man what a difference. A lot more responsive. They are worth the money so far. They are on the pricey side but a lot better than the foams.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		They will take a good bit more beating up also. Just watch that the tail rotor stays glued to the mounting bracket, mine worked itself loose a bit and caused the tail to "flutter". I just reglued it, and it was fine again.

Your blades are heavier, and there are lighter canopies you can put on the quark to offset the difference in battery flight time

next step for me is Lighting kit they just released from Hirobo WOOT !

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		For less money just tape a carbon fiber rod to the leading edge of each blade and you will get better tracking, better flying characteristics and strength without adding too much additional weight.
