My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Can anybody tell me where I can get cheap main blades for my Raptor 30V1. I am new at this hobby and I obviously will crash once in a while as I did yesterday (tail boom strike).
I hate to pay $50 for Mavrikk blades every time I wreck and I do not really like the wooden blades.
Also where is the best place to buy Raptor parts. I mean cheap and fast shipping. I have been buying at Heliproz but I think their shipping is kinda slow. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rob

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Personally I learned to fly on wood blades, all the way up to and including doing auto's, loops, rolls. The $39 crash kit from heliproz that includes a set of Mavrikk wood blades is still a good deal. Just make sure to epoxy the blade roots on properly including removing the covering, check their balance and make sure you keep your headspeed at/below 1700 RPM. Take a LOT of the sting out of a crash, gave me the confidence to push a bit and learn things like auto's.

If you really want carbon blades the G4's are not too bad for sport blades. They auto OK and fly around pretty well but if you push them hard they will zap headspeed faster than more expensive blades. This is a pretty good price for a crash kit with composite blades.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I tried HeliKraft and YES they are very cheap but they charged $21 in shipping. Darn thought I had a good deal.
Heli Direct blades did strike my fancy and they are cheap, bad part is that they are out of stock.

I will look in to the century 550 blades, sounds like a good deal.

Thanks again guys, this truly helps me a lot.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Tower Hobbies has Helimax CF blades- 530's for $45, 570's for $38 and 550's for $50. They are flex a little more than I would like, but are good sport blades for thrashing/crashing.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Has anyone tried the Mavrikk wide chord 550 blades?

Is there much difference between the standard and wide chord blades?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		i have and it bogs the head a little more but other wise there is no difference because you have to watch collective a little more. If i had a 50 size then i would say yes but for a 30 not much

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Thanks again every one.
I think I'll go with wooden mains for now till I get a little better at flying. I'm still in my hoover stage.
In the future I'd like to hop up to CF blades but that might be another 2 to 3 years.

Happy hoovering all
