Received my "930mm" blades today. The question I have is: Whom will read my review when I post it later today? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/images/em_p arty.gif
just tested it on the Blade msr... works geat.. and auto is awesome.. :) i then took it off and installed it on my homemade foamie.. and it performed not bad.. so basically it can be used on both .. heli's and fixed wings..
Absolutely no. T-Rex 700 mechanic is a toy in comparison to suitable heli-mechanic for these blades. And you need 22mm blade grips (700 has only 14mm).
This electric heli (a modification of a Miniature Ion-X) has a pair of 950mm MAH blades, just as a point of comparison and I'll be testing some of these 930mm HK blades too. Please read the "Show More" tab for lots of details. Thanks.
When my set of these blades is delivered I'll provide all the needed details about root thickness, weight, bolt-hole size, flexibility, etc.

This is going to be a long review so please be patient and read it through. And to begin, I have not flown the set of blades at this time.
There are some large-scale heli projects in my shop currently and more planned for the future so having a source of extra large rotor blades, at a reasonable cost, is a must. These carbon blades, advertised as 930mm long, have a definite purpose. But now that I've had a chance to hold and inspect them, I'm not sure where they are going to fit in.
Let's start with the claimed specifications and my findings:
Length as advertized: 930mm. Length as measured: 907mm.
The length that matters is from the blade's tip to the bolt hole and here it's 907mm. Whom in their right mind cares what the overall length is? Let's stick with a specific measuring standard, OK? If a distance from the absolute blade root-end to the hole is given, that's fine but the *effective* length, the one that matters, is from the hole-to-tip.
Grip thickness as advertized: 22mm. As measured: 21.93-94mm.
Plenty close enough. The only blade grips compatible with these are made by Vario for their line of very large-scale heli's. The Robinson R-22 comes to mind but these blades, although close to what's required for it can not work on that or almost any other Vario model. Why? Because the majority of their airframes are designed for left-hand rotation rotor blades only.
