Anyone know off hand which aftermarket CX2 blades are the stiffest and where do you get them. The stock ones bend like crazy and i cant keep from getting blade strikes when flying outside. Im going to buy some after market blade grips and get some stiffer blades. Not even sure how many brands there are to choose from, ive heard of the chinese white blades, the micro heli blades, and the ones on ebay. Hopefully stiffer blades will bend less and reduce the chance of blade strikes.(i hope i hope i hope) If i werent so stubborn i would have gave up on this blade strike thing long time ago and just decided to live with it.

These are some good questions that I would like to know the answer to as well. I have no blade strike issues with my shorter flybar. But I am looking at a website and I am interested in certain items, if some people here can possibly answer a few related questions.

www.helihobby.com/html/blade_cx2.html

This website has some upgraded blade grips (PART#BCX2-SL52) for $32.95

I am interested in these, but I want to know if I can use the stock upper and lower shafts. I have no desire to put aluminum anything on my heli. The folding white blades that are stiffer with the letters A and B on them have my interest, but right now my heli flies great and I don't want to modify it even more and have issues. So I hope someone out there has this stuff and can provide some knowledge to the rest of us.

Thanks guys

Oh and can I use the factory flybar with dual linkages, that is what I currently use.

That looks like what im after. I bought their upgraded blade grips and stiff upper and lower blades. Thanks.

you can also check out the Xtreme blades from www.miracle-mart.com under the esky lama section

I got the blades and grips in from helihobby. Fit just fine, worked very good. The blades dont seem to be much stiffer than the stock blades as far as flexing goes, but the blades dont seem to split and shatter as easily as the stock blades. I hovered about 3 ft off the ground and then started danceing it back and forth with full stick side to side and front to back. It took a little bit but i did get the blades to clack once it got almost out of control. Too much wind right now or id go outside and get it moveing fast and see if there is less chance of blade clack with these blades at high speed. So far i would say it looks like the best mod ive tried.
