250 Trex 250 blades

[Slobberdog]

Well guys I went and bought a trex 250 pro DFC and it came with two sets of blades, a set of carbon fibre and a set of plastic,

Who's flown this heli with these blades and what are the felling of the blades,

Are the plastic any good

Are the carbon fibre blades much better than the plastic,

And does anybody know of other blade manufacturers that make a blade that fits,

go with the carbon fiber. the plastic is not as sturdy as carbon and will loose shape along with having flex on collective changes.

Yeah used the plastics to set up the blade tracking, got it up to speed and light on skids, did not want to use carbons as the way the wiring is pinned away from the motor I thought I might get a tip from the transmitted vibes but I did not seem to have any, which was a bonus,

I had both carbon and Plastic for mine.
Didn't get on very well with the carbon. But they were Turnigy ones, not align.
I liked the plastic for indoors, as they took a crash well on the hard floors.
My friends use to land inverted with them and just flip it over and take of again

I dont' know if I would trust landing inverted on plastic blades lol. I dont' trust that toothpick that they call a feathering shaft lmao.

I liked the carbon Align blades much better. More snap. However, teh stock blades were HK, so I can't really compare.
