Default Notice paint coming off blades on blade450

Just inspected the paint on my Blade450 wooden blades and noticed on one rotor, the paint chipped and paint cracked, the blade looks fine though?

Do I need to be concerned?

Is this a problem with the wooden blades? Or do I need to replace my blades? Or repaint that piece of blade?

If i need to, would rather go with carbon fiber.

Default RE: Notice paint coming off blades on blade450

If it's not going to become 'unraveled' by wind whern in operation iy should be replaced, if not and the wood is fine ignore it. If covering, painting, whatever to one blade the other will have to have weight added in the same place Balance is a very important thing.
While carbon fiber blades do look cool until a flyer is no longer a novice by any measure they are a waste of money. Some willl elect to go w/cf blades w/ all sorts of rationalizations . No biggie, it's their money, the point is just if we're talking about a begineer carbon fiber blades don't do a thing to advance the learning curve of the pilot.
They ARE cool though, no doubt . Doug
