Hi Guys,
I have always flown with the fibre blades or woodies so far, I haven't crashed (dare i say it) for Approx 6 weeks and flown lots of times. The main reason for not buying carbons is the Price, but If i'm not crashing as much I am starting to consider them.

I'm guessing that these would be a benefit for these reasons.
1. The flutter of the blades (I love it) will be more noticeable.
2. Faster snappy action.
3.Will stay in track better & longer.

On the Flip side.
1. crash damage likely to be more on the Heli
2.Cost of replacement (repair bill will double) Surprised

Any other thoughts, comments would be appreciated.
