That is why I didn't buy the cf blades yet. I have thought of that rotor13b. Figured I would just be braking more blade grips and ball links. But when you really think about it the plastic parts that wil break in a minor crash with the cf blades is still cheaper than a set of wood blades. You just have to do more work in fixing it. Personally I would rather save some money and have to disassemble the heli a bit.
