LOL,,,I just put on a set of GF blades,,,,,I got them on e-bay,,,,TWO sets for $17,,figured why not try them. Well,,,the two sets are totally different,,one white,,one yellow,,,,one set very heavy,,one set very light (compared to the Align 425s). It took a full wrap off elect tape to balance them. I flew the 'heavy' set,,,the tracking was WAYYY off,,,the blade tips were about 3/4" from each other,,LOL.
You get what you pay for,,, ;D . They would do just to stay in the air if I have to order and wait on 'real' blades. But I'm afraid to try 3D with these,,,,,and running 100% is scary too,,,,not sure if they can take it.
Oh well,,,,it was something to try,,,LOL!!

Holy crap, Elk!!!
I have never tried those super cheapies, but it can't be other than 2nd's, 3rd's, or 4th's or they may come from the dumpster.
Well, If you can make them work, that would be awesome!
I happened to have bought two sets of the Radix for my 500 that were awesome. Then I bought a set of Radix 325's that were worse than any Chinese crap I ever bought! They needed major balancing and didn't track worth a crap. I don't get it for a prime brand. Those are crap and I was ripped off. And no, I didn't make noise about it. I do however remember things like this.
Then, I bought a set of 550mm CF blades that are the Z-weave from Hobby city for $45 and these things are incredible!!! Perfect balance and they track perfectly!! These are relatively giant blades.
You just never know what you're gunna get when you open the wrapper these days!

I read the reviews on those Z-weave blades,,,,I may just try the 600s on my next order from them,,,under $50,,,but the shipping kills the deal if thats all you are ordering.
