Are Hummingbird Long Main Blades Any Good????

[PC]

Hi there kind folks and others!

I would like to know if these blades you can buy for your 'hummer' that are
apparently a bit longer than the stock main blades actually increase the
lift capacity of the 'hummer' by any significant amount? Anyone had
experience with them?
I want to carry cars to a high altitude.

Cheers!

If they're longer and they're traveliing at the same speed, they HAVE to
lift more, providing the motor can drive them.

I suspect something a little larger than a hummingbird will be necessary and
possibly something with a reet strong engern:)

Would a brushless be needed though? I need to know if something like a
Speed 300 would be okay or something with more power is required.

Oh dear, I forgot to mention toy cars. I didn't mean I was going to sit in
my car with ropes attached and rev up my hummer and expect to be floating
above the clouds in a minute or so like. :).

Brushless motors give more than just power. They also last a LOT longer than
brush equipped motors although they really need their own speed controller.
Mind you, the speed controllers they use last a lot longer than the
"regular" ones. They also generate less electrical noise, so that's good for
the radio. All good reasons for using brushless, but unfortunately, all cost
more money.

I'd imagine that a 300 would be powerful enough, but don't take me to court
if it turns out it's not :-)

Oh bugger, that's exactly what I thought you meant :-))))
