Fiberglass vs. carbon blades

[xircom]

anyone knows the difference in look and feel ? realized many shops here sell rather fiberglass, than carbon blades - they seem to be cheaper, but just a bit, and lighter, but maybe also do bend more ? :?

Yes, CF is usually more expensive, and stiffer, and maybe heavier. :)

[xircom]

means most people prefer carbon or ..?

it depends on how you fly, and what blade weights you want. FG is typically heavier and more flexible. More suited to FAI or sport flying. CF is lighter, stiffer and more suited to 3D flying.
