View Full Version : Vblades
Vblades' web site is showing 720mm blades being discontinued. Where do we get 720's now? I checked Radix and MAH and neither one of them make 720's. Bummer.

I saw the same thing yesterday. Trying to select 710mm blades results in a database error. I guess we'll have to wait until Monday for them to correct the problems with the web site.
Bergen resells Vblades. Call them up and see if they still have any in stock.
Paul, that database error was even there last week when I ordered a set of blades. At that time (last Tuesday or Wednesday I think it was) I was able to order the 720's only because I had placed them in a wish list earlier in the week. Otherwise the error kept showing up and I couldn't have ordered them. Obviously at that time it did not say anything about them being discontinued. Vblades has not gotten back to me about discontinuing the 720's so I'm expecting them today or tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

I just got off the phone with them. The 720 blades were kind of a custom item. Most of the hard-core 3D flyers like the 690 blades to keep the headspeed up. So, VBlades was producing runs of 720s as needed and not really keeping them in stock. That's why they're showing up as discontinued. VBlades *may* make 720s for some of the manufacturers like Bergen if requested, but they will not be a normally stocked item. Use 710s instead.
The web site will be back up shortly. Their computer person is already diagnosing it.
Thanks, Paul. That explains a lot.
