Thunder Power. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/29565

Both carbon fiber. Both extremely good quality. Thunder Power slightly cheaper. Right now I am using only the Thunder Power ones. No tracking or balance issues whatsoever.

I am using these.  They came in the mail yesterday and work very well.  No tracking issues, Balanced right out of the package (also checked CG and it was good as well). 

Only 2 issues I found.  One was they are all black and really need the tips painted something brighter, both for visibility as well as tracking.  I will head over to store today and buy some white spray paint.

Second issue was they are slightly thin where they fit into the blade grip and needed a slight shim to for proper usage.  I wound up using a piece of plastic cut out of the plastic backer that a set of my daughters cheapo ear rings came on from the store.  The thickness was perfect.

Other than that, they seem to great and for less that $13 you cant go wrong. Cheaper than woodies and will withstand much more abuse.

Status: offline 		My favorite 450 blades are the Curtis Youngblood Radix blades.  If you get them from a dealer they will cost you $45 a pair.  I get the cosmetic flawed blades direct from Curtis Youngblood Enterprises for $23 a pair.  Last time I ordered 3 pairs.  I had a hard time finding what was wrong with a couple of the pairs.  One pair had a white mark on them where it did not belong.   I am now on my last set and will likely order 2 or 3 more sets once I put my 450 in the dirt again.  It looks like they are out of stock right now though.  

Word of caution.  Once you try a nice set of carbon blades, you will never go back to woodies.

Status: offline 		Try the Pro 3D CF blades from HeliDirect. $14.22 a pair for the 335's which are the same size as the Align 325's. I just got 2 pair and the CG were right on and balance was within .1 gram. Track perfectly also. I think they fly just as good as the Align's. Alan
