If the rods are steel, and the hub is aluminum; then I think the steel will win everytime in a wreck. I hope it's a fluke, my Friend.

Good Luck.

p.s. I like the look of the paddles, but don't need the lights; how do the paddles work with Your Grips? Are there advantages of stability with the paddles, or are they paddle shaped purely for aerodynamics in the CX-2 heli?

I have alot to learn.
