FLYING 600 WOODEN BLADES. OTHER DAY THE PLASTIC COVERING CAME OFF THE LAST 2 INCHES OF THE BLADE. THOUGHT THE INSIDES WERE COMING APART. QUESTION: IS THERE A REPLCEMENT COVERING OR IS IT O.K. TO FLY WITH BARE WOOD? HOW ABOUT COVERING WITH "MONOCOTE"?

Hey there. Just an FYI, typing in caps is considered shouting.

That aside.

You can recover them but make sure you do both at the same time and balance them when you're done. Honestly for the cost of a set of wood blades its not worth the agrivation of messing with them.

The woodies are O.K. for hovering around. Once you start flying or if your already flying, get some carbons. The covering never holds up well on the wooden blades from my experience with them.

I don't know , 600 blades might be expensive enough to try and salvage them . I have only broken one of the blades on my Falcon 3D fortunately . I also damaged the replacement set of woodies and the covering was starting to break apart some so I stripped all of it off , inspected the wood itself and decided to paint them . I hung them from a wire and used some leftover automotive 2 part urethane at the shop and it cured just like a plastic covering . I used them for hovering and slow FF stuff and they seem fine . I stick a new set of trimmed down Align 315's on there if I try anything faster . The cool thing about the urethane paint was I just sanded some off to get them to balance
