i have them on a trex 450 and they fit well and work well also. good bang for the buck

Also I seen the comments about stretching the tailboom on a 450 to use these 360mm blades. WTF? Longer blades doesn't mean you need to limo your heli. After all you are only adding 35mm to each blade. Never heard of someone extending a heli anyways..... That would change the CG and you would have to add weight to the front to balance. Duhhh guys!

 kavic5150 11 points

Not at all a duhh. A heli will have more tail authority with a longer boom. I do speak from experience having stretched 3 450 helis. On some 450s you will have clearance issues with a non stretched boom and 350/360mm blades.

Yeah , 350mm blades might be almost do-able on a non stretch - Been there ( used 350mm blades ) , but think 335mm blades .. Why longer blades ? So you can run lower head speed , low head speed = more docile . More Noob friendly .. Less stress and so forth . To each their own , but Im about to stretch one of my 450's so I can use 350 - 360mm blades , and longer tail rotor blades = For lower head speed .

There are also 480-sized helis. :)

Which heli is a 480 size ?? (just for the knowing)

I think it will work for Outrage G5
G5 has 350mm blades

The CY Rave 450 also takes 350mm blades *)

I'am using an Outrage G5 with 360 or 350mm main blades *) Je vole sur Outrage G5 qui a la particularité d'utiliser des pales principales de 360 ou 350 mm *)

Can we extend the HK450 tail boom and use this 360mm main rotor blade?

 rocketscience 319 points

350/360 also works great on stretched 450s. I have a stretched Pro runs 4S 3000kv motor. Flies almost better than my 500.

nowinkk if extend the tail you shift the CG backwards which means you will have to correct it at the front using extra weight - not a good idea unless you go rocketscience's way

Phoenix heli that takes 4s with 360 blades pretty much full house 450 they all so make all flasher kits there was all so talk of up grade for 450 to 4s new haed longer boom.

*porqui: you need a few (if any) extra cm on the tail boom - there's no rocketscience involved, just get a bit heavier battery or move it forward, depending on where your cg is now. All these people talking about 4s: make sure you calculate the max. headspeed, if it's to much higher than your actual headspeed you loose lots of energy in the motor which equals extra heat - which you can lower a bit for 360mm blades. Also you might look into getting a bit bigger tail blades.... So, the questions at hand for hk/jason/whoever: Will there be a longer boom? Will there be a longer belt? Will there be smaller gears? (8,9,10T probably) And, on an unrelated matter: Will we see a "quiet" version of the hk450 (using a belt all the way from the motor to main gear to the tail, so no more gears-to-gears-noise)? You already have fitting (low-rpm, 1500-2500kv I think) motors...

So it says 360mm. How do they measure that? Some do it from the hole to the tip, some measure the total lenght of the blade. So is it really 360 or what?

 rocketscience 319 points

*Jan, they already have 2700/2900/3200 kv motors you can use with 13t/12t/11t pinions for 4S use. Great thing about 4s is the battery stays cooler (aim for same wattage - lowers amperage). headspeed and indeed pitch range can be slightly lower since you have a larger disk, but remember the added weight. Stability is fantastic.

I am beginning to like this **- now where to get a longer belt and longer boom ** any ideas !? Rocketscience which belt and boom did you use??

Chopper using those size blades is the Protech Zoom 450.

Ordered 2 pairs to try on my G5. will report back with pre and post flight thoughts.

my Black Hawk 500 GP uses 360mm blades, pleased to see HK now stocks them as they are hard to find.

 Cicily 11 points

I just got mine, they are 350mm hole to tip, 360mm full lenght. Looks excactly as the Outrage blades. 27g each. Stiffer than the Outrage FG blades, and much lighter. Not as stiff/light as the Outrage CF blades. Have not flow them yet, but it seems like a very good bargain.

 branflake12 114 points

how did they balance out? Going to be worth it for a sport flying G5?

 Cicily 11 points

Did not try to balance, sorry.
Have some tweaking to do before I change blades.
Will balance later today, am at work now.
The finish is outstanding by the way.
People fly hard 3D with the Outrage FG, they are softer, so I would say big yes. I will use them for mild 3D at 2700hs on a stretch Pro Fbl.

I am building a Bell 212 Twin Huey which has an extended boom past the original tube, with the upward tail rotor. I would plan to use these blades as there is a significant space between the original 325 blade tips and the tail rotor. Tail rotor blades may also need to be larger. I am using the -500 motor recommended on the HK-450GT page on HK.

 Cicily 11 points

Balanced the blades today, spot on actually. Will testfly tomorrow.

 rocketscience 319 points

*porqui I use the outrage g5 boom and belt. You can also use the outrage boom and use a TT and cut the Torque Tube and thenn extend it with 4mm ID carbon tube. I have built one but not flown it. belt works fine for me.

 Cicily 11 points

Blades testflown and I loved them.
I can only compare them to Outrage CF and FG 360.
They seem to be a very good match for the vbar, while the CF is to light and did not give the stable 360 sizefeel, the FG are to heavy and muchy.
Tight and direct feel, and I liked the popp, but I have 8s system, not kidding.
I fly mild 3D like Hurrycanes, different funnels, Piroflips, Mobius, rainbows and Tic tocs.
Unbelivable for that price!!
I fly Edge FBL and SAB on my bigger birds.
Should really not write this, better to keep them for myself......

Bonus info:
A fried who is a pro factory pilot tested my 450 last weekend. He was very happy with the blades, and was just laughing when I told the price.

i use this on a modified trex 450. it becomes more stable afterwards. you need to have good diy skills to do it though

 galaxy76 66 points

which is the thickness/grip of these blades

 kavic5150 11 points

2 450 helis use 350mm blades, the outrage 450 and the stretched mini protos. You can buy 12mm O.D. carbon fiber tube (not the pretty CF but its tough) and cut a longer tail boom in any length to suit. Longer belts can be had from SDP-si**** but you will need to know the total length of belt and what your belt pitch is either GT2 pitch(2mm tooth spacing) or MXL (2.03mm tooth spacing) CG can be adjusted by sliding the pack further down the heli or using a 3s 2600mah pack. Adjusting CG is easy if you use a 6s power system. For that you use a 6s 1300 to 1350mah pack which balances nicely.
