Default Tracking Issues with Belt cp

Has anyone had tracking problems when using the Efite 400 main blades on the belt cp? I had a half inch tracking difference that would reverse with a half turn of the link. I don't think the problem is mechanical because the belt cp will track ok with the stock blades. After setting the tracking using the stock belt blades I can try again with the blade 400 blades and I have tracking problems again. Thanks for any help you guys can offer. Boom Striker

Both eflight and esky wood blades are BAD at best..

Get yourself some Align 315 pro or 315 fiber blades and you will see a huge performance boost in your belt cp.. (This goes for trex flybar paddles and tail as well)..

Thanks for the reply DierWolf. I tried 325 align blades also. I was flying the align 325's when my tracking issues started. I guess the extra length just won't work on my belt cp's.
I have 2 and it was the same with both copters. I did end up using the blade 400 mains.
Had to shorten them by moving the root supports toward the tip of the blade and grinding the excess off for clearence of the feathering shaft. Did a bench test and tracking was ok.
Hope to do some test flying soon.

Are you using the stock plastic head or CNC? If you are putting the larger blades on I would suggest putting in the T-rex o-rings as they are stiffer and help with the tracking. See the t-rex parts sticky for details.
