First Laminated Rotor Flight

I laminated a set of standard rotors with clear 3" packing tape and flew with them for the first time tonight. I think that the helo flew a little bit quieter than with the standard rotor surfaces. They sure are smooth too. Another thing that I noticed that looked cool when I gained altitude was that the LED nav lights reflected off the bottom of the rotors and they shimmered because of the laminate. It sure was cold out there tonight but I think the DF flies great if not better in colder weather.
