Hi freaks,
I've got a question for you fanatics !(might sound stupid):roll:
Would you use 690 main blades or 710 blades on your TREX 700 and why ?:dontknow
Thanks for your usual wise comments.
Regards,
Brian

Most people run 690 as this is snappier in cyclic response, but i wanted to test the Radix 710SB on the 700N as i wanted to fly "bigger" and to actually force myself to improve cyclic management. Amazing power though, its easy to learn cyclic management:thumbup:.
To my surprise, when i set swash to "max without binding" and +-13 pitch, it was actually more snappy and responsive:shock: than my 600 with V-blades/paddles all baut.
I had to reduce the swash settings and to add expo to get the feel i wanted.
I really like expo though (around 30%), as this suites me with a little slow around center stick but yet responsive at full stick.

So to say, at least i dont need the 690 blades to have the response i need

Did i mention the auto capability, just pure fun. With a little wind it can hang "forever".

after flying 690 for 5 months and do to a crash, I decided on trying 710 sb's and all i can say is wow, these blades rock. They feel about the same as the 690's but dont bog as easy, and really they just rock:thumbup:

Carson was talking specifically about 710 Stick Bangers. Just making sure you know that.
