Default RE: FP heloCP blades on FP helo

I'll try and get some pics tonight. The straps are Aluminum and singles not doubles like the cricket. They are aircraft grade so they should work well and easily adjust. The blades are cheap carbons but they don't flex like the stock dragonfly blades and weigh about the same. I also went to a 8T pinion on the main to lower the current draw and my stock blades were clipped 2cm. I may have to go to the 10T again to get the head speed up a bit It still flew really well with the 3S LiPo and stock blades but I figured seperates is the best way to go using that battery. I also made an Aluminum head stiffner for it. My wife can't figure out how I can spend so much time tinkering with such a little helo. I got a "that's pretty cool" outta her the other day when I did some FF in the front yard and landed in front of her. I think my fiscal year budget is safe for now even if it measure by the quarter![sm=greedy.gif]
