Not all wood blades are crap, I run the ones on my R30 up to 1900, never had a problem (4 years) Most wood blades with plastic roots are fine! The reason the carbon ones felt more stable was because of the weight change not the CF. I run FG ones on my 50, because they fly better, but if you have the same weight/ airfoil wood and CF blades and you swap them on a 30 you will notice very little difference!

basimpsn, were you by any chance using the JR pre built wood blades?
