Default Favorite set of 450 size heli main blades

I have a Forza 450 that came with a nice stable high performance blade. Now they are out of stock in the USA. I think they were 325mm. Anyway I want to find a nice blade for 30 shipped. Any suggestions. Keep in mind thin is my daily flyer and use it when trying new maneuvers. That means I crash it probable ever 30 flights or so and ditching out 50 bucks can add up. Wanted to know what you guys like for FBL helis

Align are good, cheap, neutral feeling blades. 3G 325mm. There are TONS out there though.

I fly the Align 360s. When I was flying 325s, I would use these:

Never had a problem with them.

My favorite are the RJX Vectors, they're just over $30, they also have RJX FBL and Energy blades that ate great for even cheaper!

Right now I'm flying aligns (325 & 360) and Revolution blades. I like them both and can't really tell much difference when I switch back and forth at the field, except that the revolutions disc seems to light up a little better in the sun.

So you swap between the 325 and 360s with no issues no gear reductions or head spread changes?

Best blades for the money. If you can outfly a set of 3G's your better than 99.9% on this forum.

RJX and align have some very inexpensive 450 blades. I have flown both brands and they are well worth the money. The aligns felt a little "sharper" on cyclic to me, but both are nice blades.

I flew 325s on my 450 pro, and fly 360s on my X3. I have flown 325s on my X3 while I was waiting for some new 360s. I didn't change any gearing or settings in my transmitter. There is a difference in feel though. Of course, bigger is better

I'd also vote for the Align 3G blades. They are excellent.

These are inexpensive and fly well as far as I can tell. They have a very crisp feel on the collective.

I had a set of aligns before for a few bucks more. They flew fine but didn't feel as precise as the TP blades. The TP blades are a few millimeters longer as well.

I fly these on my 450+ and can’t hardly tell the difference from the high dollar blade but I’m doing mostly sport flying.

Well I went with the advice I received from this tread and went with the Align 3g's 360mm on my New Build the Chase 360. They are very well made but need to be balanced (paired). I do this with all my blades anyway so no surprise there. They Fly way better than even the zeal blades I purchased.They remind me of the SAB Blades. The best part, is that they are very affordable. Only 5 or 10 bucks more that the china no name blades
+1 Align 3g's
FYI: I final found some stock blades for the Forza 450 from guys on this site. Thanks ALL!
