1st Main Blades CFK 580mm FBL (Orange)

The blades look great - love the orange for visibility. However, they are WAY out of balance. I haven't seen blades this far out of balance in years. I had to put around 6in of electrical tape on one to get them balanced!

These blades remind me of the Align blades. The Align blades have always been good and typically well balanced. The only downside to these 1st blades I could see was some flaws in the paint (not a biggie as the carbon looks great), and the blades were definately not balanced. I had to balance them with a little more weight than I have typically used in the past, but each manufacture is different and I have typically used well known manufacturers for baldes and some have come in perfectly balanced. I am probably just being picky because these blades do look nice. I decided to try these out and I will see how they track soon enough. They do feel sturdy, nice and stiff so they should hold up well and provide good lift. They did come packaged in foam sleeves to protect them and do look nice on my heli. Just make sure you balance these blades before use.
