OK folks some new blades in town!
Hotheli.com set me some of the new Funtech CF 600mm blades to try out.
Gotta say I love them myself. A little lighter feeling than Aligns CF's and a bit stiffer differently. The cord is a tad wider than Align and V's but not as wide as Radix. I also like the pattern on the top visually.
I think these blades are definitely worth a try if you looking for new blades.

But don't take my word for it!
Here are some friends that were flying everything from Align to V-blades giving them a try. Listen to what they have to say

Kevin "Fireup" video review

Jim ""AirBoss" Video Review
http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=...lename=jim.wmv

Ron "CoolFire" Video Review
http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=...lename=ron.wmv

Bottom line all three guys I let try them wanted to keep them!
So I am also making this a POLL to let all you folks decide who should get to keep a set!

The guys got their blades!
KUDOS to Hotheli.com for dishing out 3 sets for these guys!!!
See the video of the grins on their faces

Enjoy,

I kept waiting for Kevin to put 'em into the ground. He came close a couple of times. LOL

Edit:
Watched them all now, and voted for Ron. I don't know what he was talking about with his flying style, that dude is one smooth pilot, everything flows nicely.

Bobbyk · 11-07-2007, 02:54 PM

I choose Kevin, that nitro lasted way too long 8+ mins, the electric boys sure look unhappy with the short flight, just kidding guys...

What are the price if these blades?

Robert

Raven_darkcloud · 11-07-2007, 09:22 PM

I liked Bob telling Kevin "Don't wreck'm now" .

Finless · 11-07-2007, 09:34 PM

Hey Ron.... why did you delete your post?

Looks like your winning dude

Bob

Skiddz · 11-07-2007, 10:23 PM

If I vote for Kevin, and since my name is also Kevin, and "we" win, do I get a set???

fireup · 11-07-2007, 10:30 PM

Hey? Everyone here said "I vote for Kevin" but I'm not winning? What the F?

Can I vote for myself?

Hey Skiddz, If I win, you can have "one" of the blades, I'll keep the other one.

Finless · 11-07-2007, 10:35 PM

Of course you can vote for yourself!
I havent voted yet..... I may hold mine for any tie breaker

Bob

ChrisH · 11-07-2007, 11:09 PM

Ron.

Nice controlled flying, cool auto at the end. Jim, too much talking

and Kevin, being greedy and asking for the blades at the end

Finless · 11-07-2007, 11:13 PM

Ummm you didnt see it but later Ron asked for the blades too! In fact so did Jim. All of them wanted them

Now I feel sorry for Jim as I asked him to talk about them!

Bob

ChrisH · 11-07-2007, 11:27 PM

Don't be sorry, I was mostly being facetious on what I said

Comparisons are good anyways.

I just liked how Ron flew, and I've never seen an auto done like that before, so I thought that was pretty cool.

Jeff0r3 · 11-08-2007, 12:43 AM

I think Bob should keep that set! Then HotHeli and FunTech should get together and send the Three test pilots a set just for giving them the Thumbs up! Then I'll order a set for myself. Good Business always wins out in the end!

brovic777 · 11-08-2007, 01:31 AM

I like Jim's technical look over of the blades so I vote for him!!!

I say though all three contestants should get a free set. Where's Hotheli????

BTW, I have a Funtech 3D Pipe on my Nitro that rocks!!!!!

bullaculla · 11-08-2007, 01:52 AM

I gave a vote to Fireup

looks like he will need new blades soon anyway

J/K man!

much better than me for sure! I almost put it in today just doing tumbles

Airboss · 11-08-2007, 10:16 AM

dont give em to Kevin , they will be broken within 1 week. give them to JIM, he can Auto like a pro.

Thanks TrexFlyer.

As for the blades, I did try and get Bob to let me have them as well.

Now Kevin and Jim, those guys have awesome control.

Finless · 11-08-2007, 11:43 AM

I think I has spawned a little friendly "local boy" competition here......

Ron, see I told you not everyone votes for MAD 3Dz..... Good luck but it also aint over yet!

Bob

fireup · 11-08-2007, 01:51 PM

(Looks like Finless Jr. doesn't it?):wink:
