Default RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO

Lilpilot13,
You will hear a lot of different opinions on this one. My personal experience is that the plastics are Ok but you really want to keep with the symmetrical blade. The flat bottoms are not easier in my opinion. Remember that you still have to balance them--especially when you ding them. Also, when you make one item stronger (i.e. plastic blades), other items that normally won't bend or break are now easier to break.
Just my honest opinion,
Michael

Great. I'm just learning to fly my Blade CP Pro, it's my first heli ever, but i am only 13 so i will probly have many more to come. I'm thinking of getting the Flat bottom plastiblades because with the stock blades, i got a little to close to a flower box and ticked the blades on it. It looked fine so i centered it again. But as soon as I rose to about 4ft. the end of one of the blades came flying off and almost hit me, so i am considering plastiblades. Are plastiblades a lot more stronger? and will they help me learn to fly quicker and safer? Thanks for you time.
