Hello dear potential purchaser of this product.

I should bring up a few points based on the product ratings and why I decided to give each category a particular star count.

Overall Rating: Look, they're blades, helicopter blades. There's no denying that you need them to loft your helicopter up into the far reaches of the air. If there's one thing these blades do, it is just that. They'll allow your helicopter to hover in much the manner that a brick can't.

Quality: Quality is something subjective, what one guy finds to be a quality product, another guy might not. I don't fancy myself an expert on helicopter blades, but it appears given the price range and the helicopter they will usually be fixed to I am led to suspect that their quality is of an appropriate nature.

Fun: Blades on their own aren't that fun; I don't find them to be overly fun. In fact, these blades lack in the funness that other blades most certainly barely have (This point relates to Appearance and will be examined in greater detail below.) Blades are fun in the sense that they make a helicopter fun to fly. Without a set of blades, I'm sure a helicopter would be a boring adventure.

Value: Another subjective term. Let me just put it this way. If I never crashed my helicopter than these blades would be an amazing value. Seeing as I crash my helicopter often though, I do not find these blades as much of a value. However, I'd rather own a set of blades than try to and toss a bladeless copter into the sky and hope that somehow it'll stay up there.

Durability: Compared to what? When I crash into things, they break. I must admit, I wouldn't call that very durable. They are, however, more durable than a priceless vase. Certainly having a pair of priceless vases attached to my helicopter wouldn't get it far. As far as blades go though, I'd consider them alright, but my low rating is based on the notion that a 5 star durability means they'd survive a disagreement with a concrete wall and come out unscathed; now that would be durable!

Appearance: What appearance? They're boring, they're so boring I slip into a coma just looking at how boring they are. They're just plain white helicopter blades. At least the original blades that came on the Blade SR had a strip of a different color on each blade. These have nothing! They're so boring in Appearance that they take away from the fun factor. They don't provide any visual interest, any second row of color on the blur that is the blades when they're in full swing.

Conclusion: Look, they're helicopter blades. What more do you really need? They serve their purpose perfectly fine and are at a reasonable price. I've never had a failure of these helicopter blades and any damaged caused to them or by them were my own fault. I'd recommend these blades to anyone that needed an extra set of blades for their helicopter.

cost is great for beginners like me. Can handle Very minior contacts, but any thing more than that and it's good by. On the othernhand it's a good buy. I,ve stockted up on them, but I have purchest some carbon fiber blades, and put them on one of my helis. I have 3 SR's and part of the leaning curve is repair. I've become better at repair than flying, but I am off the ground and having fun. I recommend that if you have a blade strike, even a minior one. always check your feathering shaft and main drive gear. I would also recomend a pich gaudge and extra fly bars. I am ordering a CNC main gear w/hub to see if it is more durable, and will post after my next crash. I have'nt flown my #1 heli yet. I have all the hop-ups on it, carbon blades, CNC center hub, the entier fly bar mixer, blade grips w/linkage, swash plate and I cant wait to fly it. The best advice I can give is dont get inpacient like I did. Read you Manual, find a sutible area {"not your garage or drive way,or side walk") and check out heli skunk.com or crazy heli dude at his web sit or on youtube. Exellent info for colective pitch Blaed SR. There is a full tutoriel that covers evry thing to maximize your experince with the blade SR. Thanks By LIFESTARTSAT150MPH
