OK folks some new blades in town!
Hotheli.com set me some of the new Funtech CF 600mm blades to try out.
Gotta say I love them myself. A little lighter feeling than Aligns CF's and a bit stiffer differently. The cord is a tad wider than Align and V's but not as wide as Radix. I also like the pattern on the top visually.
I think these blades are definitely worth a try if you looking for new blades.

But don't take my word for it!
Here are some friends that were flying everything from Align to V-blades giving them a try. Listen to what they have to say

Bottom line all three guys I let try them wanted to keep them!
So I am also making this a POLL to let all you folks decide who should get to keep a set!

The guys got their blades!
KUDOS to Hotheli.com for dishing out 3 sets for these guys!!!
See the video of the grins on their faces :)

I kept waiting for Kevin to put 'em into the ground. He came close a couple of times. LOL

Edit:
Watched them all now, and voted for Ron. I don't know what he was talking about with his flying style, that dude is one smooth pilot, everything flows nicely.

I choose Kevin, that nitro lasted way too long 8+ mins, the electric boys sure look unhappy with the short flight, just kidding guys...

What are the price if these blades?

If I vote for Kevin, and since my name is also Kevin, and "we" win, do I get a set???

Hey? Everyone here said "I vote for Kevin" but I'm not winning? What the F?:rolling

Can I vote for myself?

Hey Skiddz, If I win, you can have "one" of the blades, I'll keep the other one.:YeaBaby:

Ron. :thumbup: Nice controlled flying, cool auto at the end. Jim, too much talking :P and Kevin, being greedy and asking for the blades at the end :D

Ummm you didnt see it but later Ron asked for the blades too! In fact so did Jim. All of them wanted them :)
Now I feel sorry for Jim as I asked him to talk about them!

Don't be sorry, I was mostly being facetious on what I said :) Comparisons are good anyways.

I just liked how Ron flew, and I've never seen an auto done like that before, so I thought that was pretty cool.

I think Bob should keep that set! Then HotHeli and FunTech should get together and send the Three test pilots a set just for giving them the Thumbs up! Then I'll order a set for myself. Good Business always wins out in the end!

I like Jim's technical look over of the blades so I vote for him!!!

I say though all three contestants should get a free set. Where's Hotheli???? :)

BTW, I have a Funtech 3D Pipe on my Nitro that rocks!!!!!

"I just liked how Ron flew, and I've never seen an auto done like that before, so I thought that was pretty cool."

Thanks TrexFlyer.

As for the blades, I did try and get Bob to let me have them as well.

Now Kevin and Jim, those guys have awesome control.

Ron, see I told you not everyone votes for MAD 3Dz..... Good luck but it also aint over yet!
