Default Zeal Main Blades?
Anyone know the difference between the standard Zeal Carbon Fiber blades and the new "Energy" named carbon fiber blades? I've ordered some and the pricing on both are the same. I have not flown any yet.

I have Zeal main blades on several of my helis but the only one I can make a direct comparison on is the 600mm sets.

Without doing a detailed analysis with a caliper they appear to be identical except for the paint.

The Energy blades are basically white with color bands running chord wise across the surface where the the standard cf blades are black with color bands span wise.

the tips of the energy blades look more like Rail and RotorTech tips, they make the blades more efficient. they likely also moved the CG, and/or overall weight, around a bit to change the feel of the blades.
