Woodies on ep200

[philiusm]

Hi,

I have several sets of woodies form my ep200. Is anyone using these? I read somewhere they are supposed to be better than the plastic blades.

They don't come with any root reinforcement. They just have a bare hole at the end of the blade. Is this OK?

I built the heli with plastic blades initially and installed them straight into the blade grips, not using the plastic washer that came with the grips.

The woodies are a lot looser in the grips and need the washer to make them a nice sliding fit in the grip. Does the washer go on the top of the blade or the bottom?

Regards,

Phil M

You should soak the end of the blade in thin CA to toughen the root area.

Take a piece of plastic and make a small cup, put a good bit of thin CA in and dip the root of the blade in it for a bit of time, maybe 10 - 15 seconds.

Thanks I will try that.
