Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Hey Gary, I was wondering if you might be thinking about making superblades for the CP heli's. I think it would be very beneficial
for those of us that are new to the CP and are going through the stock woodies. I do know about the other people making plastic blades for this heli I was just curious if you might be getting into it.
Just my $0.02...

Thankfully I haven't crashed lately but for a beginner who's still tossing it around, I recommend the woodies BECAUSE they break.

When I crashed with my carbon blades everything else broke or bent but the blades. I just think it might be a little more cost effective to just keep replacing blades rather than the spindle, head, linkage, that axle thing that goes between the rotors which I've bent 2 times and replaced 2 times (can't remember what it's called), boom and landing gear.

I crashed mine while in idle up mode in my house. Damn thing thrashed around on my pergo floor for a few seconds before I realized I didn't kill the throttle, I just floored it with reverse pitch. (stupid newbie) Everything breakable broke, everything bendable bent. Carbon blades and the floor were fine.

Other's may not agree but you just may want to consider that breaking the wooden blades might be a good thing.
