I am in the same boat, and I think it is just the learning curve. I am going through blades like crazy too. I think I am on my 6th set in under a week and a half but I have flown 2 batteries every day since I have had it.
So what say the professionals? Keep throwing down money for new blades or repair the wood and fly?
Does anyone know what type of wood the blades are made from? It seems heavier than balsa (I know there is a lead weight in there). Do the blades need to be covered for indoor training use? Can I buy bulk blades?
