i was just wondering what the ins and outs of a blade that has a aeroflat tip compared to the angled tip. what performance benefits do they have? and the same question for the angled tip. i found a set of rotor tech blades that i want to try, but they have angled tips . i just want to know what's the performance difference between the two

thanks

The airfoil and weight of the blade has a lot more to do with flight characteristics than does tip design.

In theory.
The rounded or angled tip will have less parasitic drag than a flat square tip.
This will help autos and put less load on the engine.

In reality.
I cant tell the difference.
