The Bandit and 350mm blades

[bladebraker]

Will the Bandit 450 swing 350mm blades? If not will MA sell a stretch kit?

[Caleb Phillips]

It's a 325 mm kit...

just curious, why 350??

[bladebraker]

I was told that that the little xtra blade makes it a lot more stable

[HFG]

Why would you want it to be stable ?? The bandit was designed to be agile.

[bladebraker]

I want it all stable and agile :) I guess its the same reason people fly 90s instead of 50s the bigger the disk the more stable the heli becomes and the less wind affects the heli. I dont know if going from 325 to 350 would make a huge difference but if 350s will fit then I may as well get 350s I can use all the help I can get:lol:

[HFG]

going from 315 to 325 is a significant different in the feel of how my 450 flies.

The DNext Rave can swing 350mm and Curtis says its makes a big difference,
Guess its just a matter of feel and what works for you,
I am getting a bandit, but the Rave looks pretty cool

I have used 340mm blades no problems. I have not measured it exactly yet, but from the looks of the space it still had with the 340mm it could swing 350mm. I can not promise it though until I measure it. I will do that ASAP.

I do also agree, the bigger the disk the more stable its going to fly. I like the 340mm blades for the awesome tracking in fast manuevers and over all extra pull they give. There wasn't really any loos of cyclic power or too much more load on the motor.

Okey who wants to go with me to the MA factory and get a "crowbar discount" :P I need a heli !

[bladebraker]

I called yeterday and they told me maybe by the end of May:arggg: Im sure they want to sell it just as bad as we want to buy it.

[bladebraker]
