Safety alert for those of you using Align's fiberglass 600A blades...
If they're the "FG" serial number run, get them off your helis.
The carbon blades of that serial number run are not the only ones throwing weights. My FG fiberglass blades threw a weight last weekend and the result destroyed my raptor. Luckily no one was hurt.
Blades have been sent to Assurance, and I have notified several vendors of what happened. Readyheli has gone so far as to pull the blades form stock until they get instruction from Align.
