HI all now this is a strange one for you all , i have a copterx 450 black angel and for the last year i have been having strange crashes do to no lift , they are carbon fibre blades 325mm 4.2mm leading edge and weight of 18g a blade , so i went and got the carbon fibre flame blades still for the angel , 320mm 4.2 mm leading edge but are 28g a blade .
so this morning i took heli out with a new set of light weight blades and the heli was all over the place starting to yo yo up and down ( it was windy this is the uk lol ) and then total loss of lift , so thats new blades smashed and main gear picked up the bits
Rebuilt it set up the same as i always do but this time put the flame blades on , took heli out hover was more stable yo yo was no way as bad .
Now thinking back over the last 4 weeks i have never had loss of lift or crash on the flame blades , but every time i put the carbon standard blades on its has a bad flight
Its hard to find carbon blades that have the weight and most i have found are not 28g a blade , so what can i try now are wooden blades as good or do i need to get bigger blades , i am at a loss really am i look at the problem the wrong way and its not a blade problem , i am building an airwolf so dont want this to crash i will leave some links so you can see what blades i am talking about any help guys would be great as this is costing lots of down time fixing
this is the heli
