Hey guys. I've been using these blades (i also tried the CF blades too, seem to work the same only these are cheaper) on my CPP and really like them. Just wanted to see if any of you guys have tried em out and wanted to know what ya'll thought.

my ecrap carbons have lasted me awhile, they have held up to some nice ground humping. altho i would pay most of that to watering the area i fly in a certain amount every day. keeps the dirt nice and soft and the grass dry when im ready to fly. lol i have divets all over the place.
maybe i will try some once i break the ones i got now. what was the shipping cost ? they might be cheaper. but after paying for shipping, it might have been cheaper to pick up aset of stock carbons that the lhs.

I use the Compy 300 blades. Made from hard willow wood, they are light but a lot stronger than stock blades. They also balance very well even after a crash. This was the cure to my CP2's poor tracking. These are probably less lethal than CF blades. Available at aero-fever.com and heli-fever.com. I understand some US hobbyshops are stocking Compy's.
I also have a set of Freestyle wooden blades for trial. I have yet to receive them.

Ya know I can't remember how much the shipping was. Probably around $4.95 or so. I ordered two sets along with several other things so the shipping wasn't much of an issue. These things are really wickedly tough. I can't even count the number of times I have smacked them into things.
