Also as important, he had the 106mm Tails in stock!

I just ordered two sets. One for my E7 and one for my upcoming X7.

MarkH · 12-05-2011, 04:29 PM

Thanks seldred for the heads up.

4cyclic · 12-05-2011, 06:36 PM

really liking my 606's.

ClubCRASH · 12-05-2011, 06:51 PM

I really love flying with my 606 and 696 Rail blades.

michael503 · 12-06-2011, 06:38 PM

Well, he's out of stock. Who else sells these besides Ron's, Helidirect, and ExperienceRC?

I want a set for Xmas, but if they go out of stock this fast, Santa can't get me a set

seldred · 12-06-2011, 06:42 PM

fblrotors.com carries them as well. I believe he's out of stock too

michael503 · 12-06-2011, 09:55 PM

Thanks for the reply.

I see an OP moved the thread to a place where I won't get a timely response. Must be cuz its vendor related

Thanks.

michael503 · 12-07-2011, 12:20 PM

Thx, I'll have santa check often.

DebianDog · 12-30-2011, 02:18 AM

Dang got the last set on this batch.

I feel like I won something. Good grief.

michael503 · 12-30-2011, 06:26 AM

Santa got me a set from Ron's! I can't wait for spring!

Just made 4 flights with Rail 696's on my Logo600se. Wow I really like them! There my new favorite blades. There quick, quiet in hover and forward flight, mostly just hear the tail. Sure they still make plenty noise in backwards hurricanes.

Have a ton of flights on EDGE 693 FBL and SAB 690 3d FBL, I find the EDGE very slow on cyclic, but autos great, SAB's are fast on cyclic but don't auto as well as the EDGEs. The Rail 696 autos great and are fast on cyclic plus the collective is a quick as the SAB's. Oh and the RAIL's look great

seldred · 01-04-2012, 05:45 PM

Awesome! I have seen these blades fly on a logo 600, but not the 600se. Like you said all you hear is the tail rotor.... Glad you like em

mahbouni · 01-09-2012, 03:11 AM

Which are quicker on cyclic, SAB 690 3D FBL or Rail 696? I have Edge 693s on my Logo 600SE but they are too slow on cyclic. My 600 3D has BBT Maniac 623s and I love them. I was looking for BBT Maniac 693s but can't find them anywhere. I did find BBT Insane 693s but another thread said they were slower than the Maniacs.

SAB FBL 3d are slightly faster than Rail, very very close. The SAB's don't auto nearly as well at the Rail's though and I like to do autos.
Comparing the EDGE to SAB for autos is a huge difference, EDGE autos forever but are slow to spin up during an auto, they weigh a ton...
The Edge FBL blades are very slow indeed but thats just what some flyers want.

Have you had any experience with Radix V2 or Rotortech?

Not at 690mm size. Do have a set of Radix V2's 625's on the way. . Have ran Stickbangers and Rotortech at 600mm though.

mahbouni · 03-11-2012, 06:57 PM

Have you weighed your Rail 696 blades. They seem to have the same shape as the Rotortechs,

They are shaped simular to some of the rotortec blades. And as it happens I did weigh them and all the 690mm blades I have. The Edge are the original FBL version. Airfoils are quite different on these blades.

Edge 191g, CG 370mm out from bolt, 60mm wide, 8mm thick
SAB 179g, CG 355mm out from bolt, 60mm wide, 8mm thick
Rail 186g, CG 365mm out from bolt, 63mm wide, 8mm thick
