I'll have to agree with you crashcrash. I got the plastic blades and they can take one hell of a beating. So far I have broken nothing else on the chopper when experiencing blade strikes. I do however think they are as stable as the wooden ones were. Tonight I had no problems hovering at all, even though I'm still new to it and only did a height of about 10 inches off the kitchen floor. I was rather excited to see that I was able to hover more or less in one spot for about 20 seconds before losing my cool and over compensating on my drift corrections, thus the blade strike.

Tonight really gave me hope with flying a heli again since I've had alot of bad luck to start with... but I guess everyone does. Tomorow morning I'll probably be waking people up with an early A.M. kitchen flight since it's 10 degrees outside, but I must have more stick time!

One last thing, if your new to flying (i don't mean you, crash) and haven't read about it yet..... cold and the CP are not friends and you'll probably be replacing alot more than just blades if you crash to hard on your brittle little plastic <choose a part you'd least like to break>.
