Stock Align GF blades ok ?

Hiho
Bought a secondhand 500 CF kit but got only GF blades with it. So NO chance
to change them at the shop.

How are the GF blades? Working well or use only to stir in a bucket of paint ?

My skill is aerobatics (loops,rolls,flips,stallturns, reverse), no 3D.

Thanks for a short feedback!

I haven't tried them, but if they track good and you aren't doing hard flying I would guess that is what they are made for? As far as I know they have the same shape as the CF, they just are not as ridged?

I've used GF blades for flips, loops, stall turns, funnels and backwards flight. For most of this time I was using +7 -7 degrees of cyclic. They did the maneuvers well enough, but as I'm still pretty low on the learning curve, I found that I would bog them or make them flutter by poor "collective management" (that is, bailing out of a blown maneuver) But, they're much cheaper to crash with, and they did track and balance pretty well. I'd say fly 'em and see what you think.
