RE: Headspeed??
I agree with Rafael, and I to would be concerned with running those woodies at that head speed your running. I would lose them and go with a set of CF blades. You won't even look back on the woodies. I've never been much of a fan of em' anyhow...
And yeah.... The headspeed of a 450 is considerably more in general than a .50 size nitro heli.... I would just take the precaution and preventative maintenance and replace the plastic grips while your at it. A couple guys at the club could tell ya of some bad ***** that happened with there's.... Think safety....
