Flybar Blades...and opppsss

[browndog]

What size blades do I need for the flybared X5 I'm looking to get the edge blades.

Also, I'd like to replace the paddles with something different, any recommendations?

Bout 80 bucks of damage, but would of been lots worse had I not reacted

The 520 gaui blades (208305) are a great buy at 59.99. they will work for flybar and flybarless.

EDGE Blades fly a little better IMO, but not crazy better.

FBL blades will also work on a FB machine, they will just add a little more stability and slow your roll and flip rates a tiny bit on a FB machine, so if you do run FBL blades on a FB heli, turn your cyclic up a little bit to get the same roll and flip rates.

If your into harder 3D, I would stick with flybarred blades, but still go with the longer 520's.

I would go with 515-523mm, makes the X5 much more enjoyable. I personally do not like 500mm on the X5.

HEHEHE you must of just seen my Order. Got a set of 523 here so I may use them

The edge 523's are great, if your going from the 500mm red and white stockers to the 523's your in for a treat.
