I first flew my mini-Titan with the stock 325mm blades and then tried Align carbon 315mm... I couldn't really see a difference except maybe that the 315mm almost feel more stable. Keep in mind i am still a beginner practicing basic maneuvers (8's, nose-ins,...).

I was just wandering what exactly should the difference be in flight when switching sizes like that... I was expecting less lift and more head speed with smaller blades, i didn't feel that happening.

I think there's no big difference between 315mm and 325mm.
It maybe better choice rather stock 325 than 315 carbon blade.
(At the same material(carbon, wood, frp, etc...), length is important factor.)

Actually, there's no matters what blades you are using...

Good luck.

Hmm.. I think with the CF 325mm if you don't change anything else, the rotor speed is somewhat lower.

Your bird is a bit more stable. All depends of your flying style. I 'feel' a very different bird between say the SAB and the Curtiss Youngblood CF blades.

Maybe you can try for yourself and observe how your bird react.

Happy flying.
