Default FP heloCP blades on FP helo

Anyone tried some CP blades on a FP helo? I know, you need angle of attack. I ask because I did it with a GMP Cricket that had metal straps that you could bend to either put in or take out pitch of the main blades to track them. I fitted it with some CP blades and when you had it set just right it worked pretty well.

I have a #4 that I have made some Aluminum straps that will fit in the fixed head. I have about the same angle of attack as the stock curved blades in them and know that head speed will most likely go up to achieve the same lift. I picked up some cheap carbons for a Hornet (225MM) and was going to try it once all my seperates get installed. I was just wondering if there are any engineers out there that could explain why this absolutely wouldn't work. I'm just having a blast experimenting with this little bird

New set-up will be:

Blue Arrow 10A ESC 3.3 KHZ LiPo compatible w/cutoff(Main)
GWS ICS 50Li for the tail
