RJX 362 vs RJX 360 Green (XL)

[Trader]

Hey, I just found them

What is the main differences between them?

That is a good question. Buy a set of each and let us know

I got a set of each during the BF/cyber monday sales. It's nice to see that they are actually 360/362 mm blades from tip to bolt center. The green ones appear to be the largest overall with a chord that is ~1-2mm larger than the 362mm and all the other 350mm blades. The 362mm blades weigh 33.2g each while the green ones weigh 34.2g. The 362mm blades have an airfoil similar to the compass blades whereas the 360mm blades are almost like a simple NACA 0012 airfoil (probably stiffer but more drag).

These blades will help get the disk loading down and should put the larger compass and scorpion motors to good use.

Hopefully I can test them out once the temperatures go above freezing. I imagine the green blades will give an Edge feel with nice pop but higher current draw.

Thanks. Let us know how they are when you get to fly them.

any news on these blades yet???

subscribed, keen to hear how these perform, and comparisons with autos to other brands also?

I've flown both versions on my Warp. Unfortunately I lack the experience needed to give info here. They seem like high quality blades and track well out of the package.

Well look what arrived in the post.

I will try them out tomorrow.

I really like the green vectors. Typically I fly at 2400 or 2600 rpm and they still get the Warp moving with plenty of authority. The only downside is that at low headspeeds you hear an odd sound which I believe comes from their choice to mill out the lettering which causes air turbulence. Once you crank it up to 2800+ the rest of the heli and normal blade noise drown it out.

I tried the 362mm versions and they seemed decent. However, you must turn down the gains or else you get some shakes. I felt that they were a little pitchy too in FFF but lowering the gains cured most of it.

That sounds like the noise the Aligns make, but I covered the Align cutouts and they still made the noise

Edit: Btw, I hope those greenies are good, cos my finger just clicked on some and some 520's as well.

I have the black/white RJX 360mm FBL blades I didn't even realize there were so many options.

Any more comparisons between the 2?

[KiloXray]

I've been flying the XL version for a while and they do seem to be a tad slower on the cyclic than the stock blades.

Overall I like them. I'll probably leave them on there till I crash them or Rail puts out a 356-366mm blade.

I got three flights in on the RJX Razors last night. They are stiffer and heavier than the aligns. They perform very well in fff but im gonna have to do some tuning to get my cyclic rates back up.

To me, the RJX 362 have a bit better float than stock blades. But they are a bit slower on cyclic. They do a fine job in FFF.

The RJX XL versions that I've had (Vector and Razor) have a touch more float than the standard RJX 362. But again, they have a touch slower cyclic than the 362. And the XL is also great in FFF.

The difference in autos/float between the stock and the 362s is noticeable. And the same goes for the difference between the XL versions and standard 362s.

I prefer the Vector/Razor blades. They give better float and autos. With my setup, I can turn up the ikon fbl and make up for cyclic response. But you can't do anything in a FBL unit to gain float.

After flying stockers, then Vectors, I moved to 362s. The 362s were a tweener blade between the stockers and XL versions. They performed ok, but I wanted the better float of the XL. I didn't get a bunch of flights on the 362s, since a stripped servo gear took my 362s down hard. I've since went back the the Razors.
