I have had enough flights on my new KBDD blades to give a comparison with the Stock ones now.
The first thing you notice about the KBDD blades over the stock ones is the visibility. This really makes a huge difference in the air.
With the tip cord being narrower and the route slighty wider, they do seem to give better cyclic response and roll rate is increased.
Also being slightly shorter helps too.
They also feel lighter but i don't have my scales here to prove it.
On the down side, after every session they seem to be slightly bent up. The stock ones are still straight after almost a year.
They are also more prone to damage as you can see in the first photo, the tip has a chunk missing. Remember these are only two weeks old, and the stock ones are 1 year.
Conclusion.
Pros
Visibility
Improved flight characteristics
Cons
Easily bend
Prone to damage (keep them over grass, use throttle hold, and you'll be fine)
I will definitely be using these from now on.
