Hey guys!

Again, I seek your help! :hug:

I just chrashed my belt, fortunatly it was a small crash so only one rotorblade (align 315 woodies, old version) have to go into the bin.

So since it is friday night here in Sweden and I do not have any retailers that could supply me with a coupple of align woodies before tuesday. However I have a retailer that could sell me a couple of e-sky carbons already saturday morgning.

As you might have understood I am in a bit of a dilemma. I want to fly during this weekend and I am on vacation next week so monday I would like to fly as well.
The carbons are just like slightly more expensive if I factor in the shipping cost of the align's.

My question is: Is the e-sky carbons just as crappy as the e-sky woodies or are they comparable with the align woodies?

I am, as always, very greatful of your support!

My carbon blades that came out of the box only lasted 1 minute, so hardly got to try em at all! Thats what you get for not settin up properly!!:YeaBaby:

I'd go for the flyin time option - on holiday and no bird to take out - gotta be sorted!!

It wasn't the blades fault that I crashed it was me being a complete know-it-all newbie!

I took the heli out of box, tightened up the blades and tried to fly it. Hence why they only lasted 1 min! Got upto 3/4 feet then it just veered off left and dumped itself into some garden furniture!
I've made soooo many mistakes it has cost me a small fortune to keep flyin, but I'm learning to be patient and wait for the right weather now!
