What length blade are you guys using?
The spec says 520mm-550mm. Did anyone try 550mm and how was it?

I've run just about every size.
The right blade size for you is going to be determined more by your power system and all up weight of your swift.
I run 550mm blades because my swift is heavy at 2900 grams due to the 10s1p emoli battery packs I'm using.

Hey,

For a real hot 6s setup I have found running 530mm main's to be the best bet.

A little longer than the stock 515's to lighten the disk loading, but not to long to cause any real extra loading.

My setup is using the stock Century 600 Outrunner with 530mm NHP Razor PRO's.
