Im right there with ya newbie,we will be zipping around before summers over.Anyway would it be possible for ya to take a picture for size comparison of the honybee fp blades next to the stock ufly blades.That would be cool.Thanx.

[cruzroy]

sorry for the wayt......honey bee fp v2 blades work great and they are half the cost....no mods either......just fit right in....hope this helps

[NuFlyA]

Thanks cruzroy,i appreciate it.They look a little thicker.That will probably give me a little more stability and faster lift.Will try.Cheaper price works for me.Thanks again.

[NuFlyA]

[cruzroy]

I found ufly blades here
http://www.hobby-wing.com/hm-ufly-z-16.html
for only 4.25. Where is the HBFP blades cheaper? Are the HBFP blades better? better lift? What am I mising?

Looks to me like the blades are the same except the HB blades have a wider chord than the Ulfy blades. I'm guessing the HB blades would make it a little more stable.

Thanks again,dont worry about the links,im new on here also and have noticed quite a few.Dont think its a problem.Its good to see a few Fixed pitch blade options to use.

Here's the funny thing. I have a very old dragon fly that had these HBFP blades on there. I broke a set on my new ufly and well, I took them off of my dragonfly but I seen that they were bigger, so I etched them and cut them to the size of the ufly blades. I guess I should had just put them on and seen how they did. I will say that when I cut them down, they were lighter than the ufly blades. I can't remember how much but I was balancing the dragonfly (HBFP) blades after I cut them down using my gram scale and noticed that the ufly blades were much heaver.

honeybee v2 blades seem to help you hover.....they are not as quick as ufly blades...they helped me learn and then remove them for speed....

What rubber grommets did you use to make the HB blades fit the Ufly? I got a pair of the blades but the rubber grommets from the Ufly don't fit.

[darmie]

Actually, I believe the ones on the ufly are a hard plastic. I just pushed the ufly gromments right into the HBFP blades. You can't have them at an angle, They have to go straight in...

The Ufly grommets are too small for the HPFP blade holes and that's my problem. When I use those with the blades, the heli just spins round and round (not TBE).

[cruzroy]

Ufly grommets.....when i used them i just fit right in for me...unless ufly has different rotor-heads, i did use the blades from my honeybee fp v2.....not the fp v1...but i had no problems.....sorry for the tip if it dont work for eveyone...

They should work for all unless they made some Ufly blades different... or maybe his blades might have gotten mixed up in packaging and he got a set of v1 instead of v2 or then again they could have changed the HB v2 blades.
