Default BLADE INFO and HELP NEEDED!!!!!

OK Guy's and Gal's,

Here's one for the masses.

I had quite a few sets of blades both V-blades and Radix blades that went under water during Hurricane Ike in 2008. I kept the blades and wrote them off as non-usable. They only stayed under water for a few minutes because where I had them sitting initially went under water then it floated. The blades feel structurally fine, no soft spots in the carbon, no discoloration and when I weighed them each pair if they weren't matched in weight were within .5 grams of one another.

Here is my question?

Do you think these blades are OK to use. They are all 600's, 690's and 710's both Radix, V-blade and V-blade TST's.

Also does ANYONE have a chart with a weight range for each model of V-blade and Radix's I can't find one anywhere.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I would bet they are fine, but honestly I don't know. I personally would fly them....

If (and that's a big if) water got in them, it would have dried out long ago. Shouldn't be an issue.

Yep they should be fine. Just check balance to make sure no water is in them. Water won't hurt carbon
