Due to my eyesight problem (One eye jack), thus looking for blade with better visibility so that I can fly higher without worrying that I can't see the blade. Please advice.

What about reflective/holographic blade decals? Depending on the way the light hits them, I think they make the blades more visible.

I did paste a few hologram sticker on the blade yet it is not that visible in the air.

Something else that you can try that Steven does on his 550, take some monokote trim tape, we use flo orange on the top side and flo yellow on the bottom of the paddles, you can actually see the flo tape top and bottom as the heli flips in the paddles.

Ok. I will try your method too. For your info normally I look at the blade instead of the paddle when I fly.

Understood, it also will help as you can see it through the blades :thumbup:
