Default Three blade head

With the new blade 360cfx three blade conversion coming out who is thinking of converting the warp to three blade? 6mm main shaft should make it fairly simple.

I'm curious,
is compass working on it?

Blade ? .. they're making models and models, but never models that won't break down after a few flights.

I stay with compass and goblin

My question is, why? Unless you're going scale, I dont really see a reason to do so on this heli.

Just wanted to see what all the fuss is about on a much cheaper scale.

Jr have had a kit for quite a while for there forza 450, I thought abut getting one for a while but the extra crash cost associated with the 3 blade head really works against why I fly 450's so I'll stick with 2 blade heads in this size. When henseleit bring out there new model I may get it with a 3 blade setup.

Three blade has different flying characteristics. Example: Burt says you need to turn the FBL controller head gain all the way down. About the only advantage I've heard is that if you do a full blade stop during autos, its easier to restart the the rotor. I suppose Warp is the best heli in its class for autos, but I don't really plan on practicing auto with my Warp.

Auto's go really oke with the warp, but you need to stay in forward flight because the tail stops spinning very quickly after throttle cut.

i agree it's better to to it with a 500 size ... much easier

Agree the Warp does the best autos of any in its class.

WRT Three blades, someone who knows posted:

FWIW, I don't want to get into a geometry discussion, but I don't think DFC is compatible with three blades.
