rotor blade question
this may sound stupid as I already think I know what your all going to say. I am still a newbe when it comes to helis. I have a heli that i had sitting around for a while and I'm getting ready to set it all up. The old house I used to live in had sprung a leak in the roof over the room where i had my airplane stuff just before I moved. Luckly nothing of major value got ruined. Now as I have discovered that my rotor blades looks as though there is some mold or mildew under the covering. Is it recommended I just toss these blades and buy new ones ?

It depends on how long the mold has been there and if it has started to soften the wood. If it hasn't you could use some bleach to kill the mold. But if I were you I'd toss them just in case. Woodies are fairly cheap to replace and would be worth getting a new set for peace of mind.

Ok I guess all is fair $40 is cheaper then a new $200 some dollar trainer heli like the nexus. and as for the carbons blades, Barracuda, I'm just a beginner and I wouldn't want to buy a set of expensive carbon blades just to wreck them. after all it is a nexus and this heli supposedly would bend the feathering shaft if you invert it without a nice easy gentle roll.

RE: rotor blade question
I bought it from scratch and dent cheap. so I pretty much have a full heli in a box it doesn't have blades or a tail boom. and I don't know what other odds and ends may be missing. So what price would you be willing to sell me a set of blades ?
