Guys, I´m more leaning to scale with my helicopters than 3D so I need to know where I can get non symetrical blades for my Hirobo 50 EVO from. They are more stable I beleive and in the scale stuff thats important. Can one of you fine gentlemen guide me to someplace who sells these as I hope to have my multiblade head soon and with that I need trainer blades for added stability. Thanks a ton guys. |

I wouldn't suggest going with flat bottoms. They balloon way to much in the slightest a wind gust. For scale you want to fly as smooth as you can so i would go with at least semi or fully symmetrical blades. You'll get used to the heli being more responsive in a short while, just take it easy the first few flights

Symetrical blades are fine. If you want to fly smooth use a non aggressive pitch curve, soft dampeners, and both weights in the paddles, and all the linkages in the "auto-stability" settings.

I'm using semi-symmetrical blades on my jet ranger. They're Graupner blades and the model performs very well on them at a HS of 1400. However, the local Graupner agent told me they not making semi's any more because everyone's using full symmetrical.

From CSpaced's website link: "Don't be fooled by low cost multi rotor blades, the key to the design is extra weight, but more importantly is that the weight is located along the leading edge. The blades will either make the scale helicopter fly well but somewhat different from a traditional two blade setup with flybar or not flyable in forward flight at all." Hopefully you get the "somewhat different" result! haha |
