Hi guys . I was flying inverted today having fun trying to cut grass lol and after that something hit my blade and have this small hole. Is not cracked at all , just what shows on the picture. Can I still flying with this blade for now or do I have replace it???

Thanks for the help

Little hard to tell how bad it is by the picture but i would say your safe. as long as there is no crackling when you stress the blades by hand, then you should be good.

100% no problem with that. maybe a little CA to prevent it opening up further in the wind.

Personally, I worry more about damage at the root than the tips. Root may cause the blade to be thrown and could injure someone far away. Tip will only cause the blade to delaminate (blow apart) and cause the heli to crash. I also consider the amount of risk based on blade size: 450: stitches or maybe an eye at very worst case scenario. 700 blade: much worse.

Fly them, just do as Russel said and drip some thin CA onto the damaged portion, then re-balance, and you're good to go. Been there done that.
