I've had very good luck with my Cp Pro with the blades from JCS Hobbies, at my LHS or www.jcshobbies.com. I've only had them for a week but I've never had a set last a week before. I'm not too good yet, I can hover and limited at forward flight but these blades have given me the chance to fl :!: y more....very forgiving for small crashes.... :!:

Mine are about 17g each. I absolutely love my Plasti-Blades - they have survived about 20-30 crashes, and while they are a bit heavier, a positive is that the extra momentum helps in preventing the head from getting bogged down when collective management is less than ideal.
I can recommend HeliDirect - I just purchased a Trex 450SE and a bunch of parts from them, and they have been great and fast to ship orders!

I personally do no like mine. they seem to make the controls slugish and jumpy, much like sticky collective issues. they do hold up well in crashes, but it takes its toll on mixing arms and blade grips instead. and I crash more often with the plastic blades than with foam or wood blades.

On a side note, like acoleacole said, helidirect has great prices and service. that would be the place to get them. Wish they had the foam blades (Hint Hint) lol.

I like mine, but yeah they do tend to break blade grips, and lately a lot of pins and main shafts getting bent. I highly recommend the tougher main shafts, I need to find out where my bud got em... but he's diggin em.
