i just thought i'd share with you guys the scoop on the RCPII 500's. remember back a few months we were talking about the overall finish and look to the carbon weave being not so great on the rcp's? i'm happy to announce that i've got a set of the 2nd generation blades and the carbon finish is gorgeous to say the least. these look like high dollar blades, 100% improvment over the gen1 blades. and it's my own stupidity about how i ended up getting them. i saw that the 500mm were out of stock at ready for a while, so when they came back in i nabbed a pair, thinking 500mm blades- better flight times slightly, over 515's and 550's. so they come in, and i see that they are the same size as my current blades, which i was positive they were 515's. well ok, i thought maybe ready made a mistake, or rcp packaged them wrong. not so, my xes came with 500's! so that's cool, now i have an extra set. the moral of the story? don't assume. measure lol ;)
