Status: offline 		Carbon fiber blades are lighter and tougher than the stock blades, but they're a lot more expensive. It's tough to say if you should get them. I'd say if you can fly fairly well, absolutely. If you're learning, than it's tougher to say. Things that will damage the stock blades won't hurt the CF blades, but that doesn't mean they're indestructable. If you can get a good price on CF blades, you should give them a try. I have the Venom CF blades on my 22E and I like them, but they're pretty expensive. I think cheaper alternatives have come out since I got them.

CF and fiberglass are not the same thing.

Status: offline 		I don't have any fiberglass blades, so I don't know how the perfomance may differ, but as the description implies - carbon fiber blades are made out of fibers of carbon while fiberglass uses fibers of glass. I believe CF will be lighter and maybe tougher than fiberglass. CF is black while fiberglass is yellowish.
