Question Carbon Fiber- NOOO

I really don't want to use the carbon fiber blades that came with my Sabre because they break to easily. I have already broken (cracked) both the tail rotor and main rotor in a couple of flights. Is there a stronger type of blade out there? And I don't have the money for a simulator right now. Maybe later.

Re: Carbon Fiber- NOOO

well good thing you asked and now for me to save your butt. the name is ABS they're strong and EXTREMELY durable. No you can't use them for 3d flight as they ARE a bit flexable (in negative pitch they could hit the tail boom ) ou can get them pretty cheap, try looking for TRex ones, then, you could clip them down to size. they're only 10 bucks at grand RC and ship fast. also be warned that they do seem to have rather large hole in for the mounting, (i think that's so if you hit something they could jiggle a bit). if it wont fit because of that huge hole just fill it, glue it, and drill it.

PS: trust me they'll last probably longer than any other part on your heli.

Get FMS for a simulator. It's free. Then spend about 35 bucks on a good cable from someone like SimBlaster.com. Thats what I did and it has made a difference.
