I got my FRP blades in from HeliDirect today and when I got em in my hands I instantly hit the roof. NICE !!! I had never seen a set of FRP blades before. They look like something from a million $$ aircraft. They are more stiff than my CF blades and have such a nice smooth finish. the airfoil looks low drag, but that could mean great for sport flying but possibly make a good bit of drag at high lift angles. The tips are nice too, not just a square cut. BUT..... Daaaaang. Out of balance. HD sent me a new pair, so no problem. At only $15 , don't expect red carpet quality, but I did get red carpet service from HeliDirect. They very nicely corrected the problem. I think, what are those expensive FRP and CF blades like ? I think a well balanced set of these blades will beat wood anytime. No warping or tracking changes with weather.
