SAB Blades for Lepton

[Dr.3D]

Hi,
these are the new lepton blades by SAB.
they are still a prototype version, but they works very very well. They are stiffer and with a better profile that the original ones. Also the cord is different.
We need only to do some modificatoin to the position of the cg....

We are looking forward to the final production version!

Nice! Compared to the stock blades, they have a much wider cord. Hopefully it will translate to better lift and from the shape of the tips, less bogging and less blade noise/flutter.

So I know you guys are still testing them, but how does it fly compared to the stock blades?

:mrgreen:

When will they be available?

[Dr.3D]

[Hi,
the new blades are more aggressive that the original ones, and they are better on auto. They are very rigid wich make their response crisper.
The new airfoil and the wider chord works very weel...
Next week a should receive a new pair of blades with another cg position...

The final production version should be avaiable very soon....

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I can't wait. Which US distributer will get them in first? approximately what will the price be?

[toyturbo]

Hey Dr. 3D, what is the position of the CG in the current blades you are testing? and on the ones you are waiting on receiving? How does the position affect the flight characteristics?

[Jafa]

an inner CG gives quicker cyclics and less auto energy
an outer CG gives the opposite on both counts

[toyturbo]

is the CG in relation to the length-wise span or chord-wise span?

[Jafa]

length-wise

[eheliflyer]

I need a set now!

[eheliflyer]

Any word on when these will be available?

[wicked_n_raw]

I want a couple of sets also.

I want a set. I am not too impressed with the MAH blades. I know SAB won't let us down. Now just release it already.

[xircom]

MAH are available, but only in very little quantities so finally they probably will be available both same time ... need your help in deciding, then will order 2-3 sets :twisted:

[Dr.3D]

Hi,
i speak with SAB this morning they told me that the production (of the final version) will star on Monday....so they will be avaiable very soon.



Thanks
Andrea

I am sure some experts will provide good testing !

after first crash, had the opportunity to have a look 'inside' the stock blades ... well ... does not appear to be very expensive material, considering this - they fly actually very well, but if they only would be cheaper.
