Blade 130S main blade upgrades
Like many others first flight of the stock 130S was a bit lack lustre, the machine bogged down easily in higher G moves and generally felt heavy and under powered. Nice flier but needed more pep.
Seems that going for the longer 180 CFX blades didn't really suit the machine either at 150 - 153 - 155mm lengths didn't work. By chance I also fly an XK K130 this has really nice stiff CF blades at 143mm long that fir perfectly into the 130S. The blades are noticeably stiffer and the handling is noticeably improved. and it suits the stock tail boom length. I upped the tail I setting by 20 in the Tx - Rx The machine picked up allot more speed and way better performance all round. seems this is the magic length and the stiffer CF suits the heli perfectly. Stiffer CF blades for 1/2 the price of the stock plastic flexi blades. I added white film wrap to the black CF blades and red tip stripes, visibility is as good as stock. Batteries: the new GNB 450 batteries suit this guy down to the ground, sold 5 1/2 minutes fly time and good power delivery solid as up to around 5 1/4 minutes then you can feel it was back a fraction. Did push them to 6minutes but that resulted in 3.6V in the cells. having fun with the new battery and CF main blades CF tail boom next !
