Default From woodies to what?

I know I wil get a bunch of different answers, (Ford-Chevy-etc...) But What are a good step up from stock TT wood blades? Im just planning ahead right now and might buy some replacement blades from Heliproz.


Thanks alot for any suggestions.

I'm also making the change from woodies to a new type of blade. I think I'm gonna go fiberglass. They're the next price class up. Carbon fibers are alittle more expensive. And last, it would have to be the night flying blades. Purely luxury of course.

Just get the TT glass blades. They are cheap and do a great job. I have been doing aerobats on them for years. I have a different brand of carbon on the 90 now, but thats just because thats what it came with.

I have a set of Mavrikk Pro CFs from Heliproz on my Raptor 60. I love them.

I've used the MAVRIKK G4 550 Carbons on my 30 and they're very responsive (for us newbies)
BIG dif in response to power climbs and stops vs the woodies (that flex).

$50 from Heliproz.

You can get TT carbons for Rick's (www.ronlund.com) or onlyraptors.com

I went from woodies to G4 maverick blades and that spoiled me. After breaking them i went with maverick fiberglass blades and they suck, for $5.00 more i could have gotten the carbon blades from maverick (which is what i fly now), not sure what i wa thinking? I will buy G4 carbons again when i quit learning manuvers.

I've tried several of the carbon blades out there now and the best bang for the buck is definitely the G4 Pros from Maverrik. I have flown them back to back against NHPs, Vs, and the TT carbons. At the same price for all, I'd still take the G4s.
