The helicopter is a Raptor 50 Titan. The manual and blade instructions state to glue the grips to the blade before flying. Sounds like a knee jerk reaction and quick fix from the legal department. The blade are already speed limited. If I am just staring out and plan hovering exercises without any 3D is the gluing necessary?

I am not trying to be lazy I just know that with my skills or lack thereof these blades are going to have a very short lifespan.

I would glue them. I've seen some blades thrown off just spooling up. Glueing them just ain't that big a deal.
