Zeal blades 255mm

[Murph_d]

These are gonna get snapped up by 300x and OxyHeli people, but the root is 4.5mm. Should be a direct fit for the X2.

I'm pretty sure they made these in response to Luca Invernizzi for the Oxy 3, but those grips are 6mm just like the 300x (and 300cfx). The fact that these are made with a 4.5mm root (they come with 4 spacers) must mean they considered the X2 in their marketing plans. I figure that's a good thing.

when they were asking for suggestions(zeal) I put forward the x2, they said they were going to research it... I guess they were serious, good news for us

Please report back on how the blades perform when you get a chance. Thanks!

[dr_boom]

Got mine today, they are a direct fit!

Hopefully I can get some time to try them out this week.

What i'm hoping is that with the 300x, Oxy3, Microheli Spider, and the X2.....maybe we will see main blade prices drop even more. I'd be REALLY happy to see them come in at 15.00 or so.

Reporting back on these blades. They are fantastic, so smooth and oddly quiet. Excellent pop. Highly recommended!

[Murph_d]

Thanks for the report. Do you like them more than the stock blades?

[dr_boom]

Yes, I like them better than stock and the Edge 253's.

Nice to know. I will have to test them one day

[Murph_d]

I finally broke down and got a pair (I've always liked the stock blades). I haven't had a chance to fly them yet because of the weather, but this is the first pair of blades of any size I've ever had that were perfectly balanced, both cog and weight. No tape needed whatsoever. I'm anxious to see how they fly.

Bump..... Its been a while but what are we thinking about these blades??

[dr_boom]

IMO, the best blades for this helicopter youngb87

[youngb87]

Thank you

[Murph_d]

I wasn't sure at first. They are about 2g per blade heavier than my stockers, and I usually don't like the way a heavier blade flies, but on this heli it works nicely, slightly less agile, slightly more stable. Could be just my perceptions.

I've been practicing funnels a lot lately and the extra stability is welcome. It does seem to flip a little slower, not enough to be an issue for my style of flying.

[youngb87]

Intresting... I wonder if a heavier blade helps with stability because it is somewhat a smaller light heli. Gives it a better stands in the air.
