Is any one flying the smart models scale blades?
I am thinking of trying some on a scale 700 Jet Ranger but would like to know a little about them.
I cant get any response from their email so I am a little concerned to just order them and see if they show up!
any info will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ernest.

I was a little sketched when I bought some JR receivers from them a while back. They all arrived a week later and have been working fine. I'm not sure if this helps you, but I had a good experience. I also realize this post does zero for your question about the blades.

Well curly39440 I am asking Kim (SmartModel) about scale Jet Ranger main rotor head, but nothing concrete when he answered my mails. I would suggest if you wanna get scale blades to look http://derblattschmied.com/epages/5b...ts/1Wahl/700mm

Cheers, Peter!

I have a set of their blades. I had heard tales of them vibrating a lot in flight but the set I have didn't do that. I only hovered them and I found that they took less pitch then my rotortech blades (which I love). Maybe it was me but the heli seemed a lot more sensitive with the scale blades on.
I don't have a lot of experience in analyzing blades so I can only recount my experience.

Kin is easiest to get a hold of through PM's at RCGroups. His English is pretty tough to decipher at times, but can be puzled together. Short questions get short manageable answers

At one time they were making 2 different types of 700mm blades , an injection molded carbon plastic which was junk ( warped and twisted in flight making FFF almost impossible) and a layed up CF blade which was pretty good if you got a matched set.

Kin is pretty hard to get a hold of these days and is into gliders and UAV's more than helis but keep trying the email and RCG's PM's and soon er or later you should get a hold of him.
