Raptor-30-V2

Hello... Im thinking about to buy some carbon blades for my Raptor 30 V2. I have flown about 10 flyights in my life, but I feel wery safe at this moment.

So what blades should I buy?
This is what I have to choose between:

TG Blade from Germany - But they only have 680mm
or
THUNDER TIGER Taiwan - But they also yust have 680 mm
or
CARBON TECH by Funkey Hong Kong - They have 550mm
or
Fibreglass & carbon fibre reinforced Rotor Blade
(Funkey, Hong Kong) - They also got 550mm, but they got two types: 'Air-Foil S=Symmetrical or SS=Semi-symmetrical'


So what is the best for my Rappy? Can I (and chood) I use other then 550mm blades for my Raptor 30?
And what is the differents between 'Swept tip' and 'Aerobatics Tip' ??? ('sqaure','round' tips?)

PS: Im not doing any 3D yet... Im mostly fly around and hover... So I would like some blades that makes it stabile. And I can only choos between this blades...


Thanks a lot.

I think the 550mm blade is the only size that works well with the 30 size raptor. (unless you have the Raptor 50 upgrade) ive used Mavrikk 550 carbon blades. They are good quality, and i will use them again, but i have switched back to the wooden blades, the carbon blades make the crashes too expensive, (i am a still a clumsy beginner, so it is very likely i will crash again soon).

Hehe... Well I have also crashed two times allready... But the secound one did I only have to buy a new set of rotorblades and a main shaft. But now I have flown 4 times without any crashes...

I have about 30 flights, one crash. Made my first nose-in landing yesterday. went pretty well, so i decided to do a nose in take off. It was bad, but luckily i didn't tip it over. Pretty sure it won't be long till i get another crash.

Canopy facing you, every control is reversed except pitch. Hard to learn, but probably important to master.

Ohh... That is nose-in :-)

Well.... back to the simulator! ;-)

World Models makes some inexpensive fiberglass blades that i have switched to in recent weeks. the 550's are around 28$ the quality is not like the Mavrikks or V blades, but they are tougher and apeare to provide more lift and less drag than the wood ones.

I lost another set of blades this week. second crash in two months. i get about 15 flights in per week, so i guess i is not too bad. Gonna try my first loop tomorrow, fortunatly i already have replacement set of blades and parts on order, they won't sit in the box for long!


wish me luck!
