For those of you using the wooden blades.... I read somewhere about brushing 30 min epoxy onto the main blades, then sanding smooth to increase the durability. Of course remove the white plastic covering first. I tried this and it works great. I was replacing the blades after every little rotor strike. I just hit a heavy metal garbage can with mine at nearly full head speed[:@], and there is no damage at all!!! Plus, they look cool. [8D]
