how is the performance on the 430s compared to the 425s. do the 430s load the head more, roll faster or slower? how do they look, I think I would rather have the white, but I have the 430s.

I flew the 430 aligns and the white 425 aligns and its hard to say. The 425 were faster, but loaded the have more then the align 430's When it came to doing Hard quick transitions the 430(yellow) ones loaded the head less. But on Climbouts and horizontal fast rainbows, The 430 moved slower. So i Stuck with the align 425 because i like the extra speed.

I still have yet to try my430 blades... I keep flying the 425s that my kit came with... I will put them on soon and try them out to see how I like them. I think the longer blades my give less flight time, but its nothing to worry about I think....

For those that have flown them, do you notice a shorter flight???

Nope. Flight time was the same.

after about 70 flights with the 425 cf blades i put on a pair of the 430's today (3 spare pairs) and the heli felt a bit slower while flying but flips seemed to be way faster. just my thoughts.

so they flip roll faster? how much faster? sorry I just want to know if it is worth putting on the blades I dont like.

well I guess I will put the white ones on then, but I have both sitting waiting for my heli. I liked the way the white ones flew, and looked so I think I will use them again.
