Default RE: CP plastic-blade

--}--{ ,

I'm with the guys that won't use plastic blades. I've been flying for a tad over a year, I tried the plastic blades. On two crashes, they were the worst ever in a year. Last one, tail boom, roto head, blade grip and main shaft. Woodies are cheap, and it doesn't take two or three hours to replace blades, as opposed to tail boom, main shaft etc. I strickly use the woodies.
Always hard decisions in the heli world, should I or shouldn't I. The trick is not to crash, however we all do. Bummer.

Good luck guy,

Me too. Got to do pretty much an overhaul because of the plastics. New main shaft, new tail boom ,new head. All due to the plastic blades
