Solo, I tried dipping them in boiling water but it didn't seem to work for me. I'll try it again later maybe with hotter boiling water and longer dip time.

my wife tells me that same thing. The good thing is I would only have to commute 30min to work each day. (they work out of San Fransico) My wife has met them.
This is what I e-mailed e-flite today
After spending two weeks trying to figure out why my CX2 helicopter lost power after 3-4 minutes of flight and after replacing almost every part of the helicopter from motors to the bearing and spending over $100 in parts and repairs, I finally discovered that it was the stock e-flite blades causing it. When I first puchased my cx2 it came with 2 packs of lower and upper blades. Out of those packs only one set worked. I then bought 4 more pack of lower and upper blades and have dicovered a way of testing them for "warping", out of the 4 new packs only 2 1/2 sets are good. The others (bad) blades will decrease my flytime down to 3-4 minutes.
Please take some time to view this video I made to test for warped (bad) blades.
