Muley-

Sorry, you are going to have to wait for someone else to answer that, I just a beginner.

I did just fly my first set of homemade blades. 3/16x3/8 spruce or basswood and 3/16x3/4 hard balsa trailing edge stock glued together and sanded to shape. Basically followed the method on pg 182 of this forum but made my own wood choices. They work well and the hardwood leading edge is pretty tough. Covered them with thin packing tape for a nice shiny finish, also won't shed like the stock blade covering because it sticks!

Back to flying, But I think my tail motor is going. Seems like it needed ALOT more right "stick" as the flight progressed to keep the nose pointed where I wanted
