I would get them,. I had the 600mm "3d" ones they sell. also have those on my 450 size fly good to me

Hit or miss, I've had some that have blown apart totaling my heli. And others I never even used because the build was visually so horrible.
However I have had luck with a bunch as well.

well i dont have alot of cash.....so maybe ill look for some used CF blades

If you're just hovering, what's wrong with woodies? Theyre dirt cheap.

[Suburban92]

i would buy them.. I HAVE BOUGHT THEM
they work NO PROBLEMS

[RaymondJ]

And I have.... Flip of the coin they sure don't have QA workers

i read the reviews on helidirects website. seems like a mixed bag to me. as long as you are just hovering, the wood ones will probably be ok, but you have to make sure that the shrink wrap is intact with no holes. also, you will have to glue the roots on and that entails trimming yhr shrink wrap around where the root will be glued. they will have to be balanced as well. but they are ver cheap.

the mavrikk ones i use on my raptor 30 are $49 bucks at heliproz, when you transition out of hovering around. http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=802100
