Source for 800mm main blades? I'm looking for main blades for a Bergen Intrepid EB. All of the sources I've found do not have any stock on hand... any positive ideas?Fly safe, Glover |

Seems to me that the Bergin EB uses blade grips that are relatively narrow - only 14mm. This used to be the standard blade roots size for the smaller blades (e.g. 600 to 700mm).An 800mm blade would exert a lot more force on the blade roots then would a smaller 700mm blade. So many of the newer gasser helis (e.g. Predator Condor) that swing 800+ blades have blade grips to accomodate wider blade roots.The Rotor Tech 800+ blades are great blades, but they use a more sturdy 16mm blade root so I do not think they would fit on the Bergin. |

You are correct about the grips being 14mm.The NHP blades that sacrificed themselves in a forced autorotation are the only ones that I know will fit. Bergen tells me that they are at least 30 days from having more NHP blades.I need to locate a reliable source, and purchase more than one pair. (Well maybe not, as only one of the blades had a small crack resulting from my clunk line failure... if I only break one blade at a time.) I was just getting happy with the EB, and am now back to polluting the air with my Raptors and planks.Fly safe, Glover |

the bbt evolution 795 blades are the correct root size for you
i've just measured mine off my hirobo bell 47 g2
and they are about 14mm root size
and i got them from midland helicopters in the uk |

Well Dave, I really want semmetrical blades, but thanks for helping.I keep running into "out of stock" notices. I just need to be more patient, and keep looking. I do have other toys to play with... it's just that I want to play with my new EB.Fly safe, Glover |

I've found some SAB blades at Quick, and ordered them. (I still have my order for some NHP blades is place at Bergen, so those will be my backup blades.)Thanks to all for your assistance!Fly safe, Glover |

Chris,You are correct if one is only considering a relatively lower head speed.Force on rotor blade grips and the roots of the rotor blades depend on two things - size (weight) and rotor speeds. Note that the force increase from a higher rotor speed is much greater per % increase then is the same % increase in weight.So an 800mm blade turning up at 3D type rotor speeds, as used in the 3D type of flight some of us have been fortunate enough to see some people perform with their big Condors swinging these 800mm RT's, will excert a LOT more force here, then will a camera ship turning 835mm blades at a substantially lower rotor speed.I understand that the 800's were designed more for higher rotor speeds required for aerobatic type cyclic response on these large helis, while the 835's are for lower head speeds as seen in industrial applications and similar "soft" type of flying.As a number of these larger helis (like your EB) are used at the lower head speeds, these 835's would be compatable with more of these helis, so they were designed for them while they would also be compatible with a Condor (using spacers) that would also be set-up for lower head speeds and softer flying. |
