    +1 agree. I have a pair of efight wooden blades that were just no good. One blade needed a lot of tape to balance and never seemed to track right after a couple of packs. The COG of the blades were very different too. Changed them and much better.

    If your at the crashing a lot stage, and want to use the cheaper blades, get 1 pair of decient blades, maybe carbon to use as a reference when you have a problem like this.... It can save a heap of time.

    luckily the 1st "crash a lot stage" ended over 12 months ago now. the trouble is the second crash phase is probably about to begin as i start to try and get it inverted. i will order a set of carbons to determine if the wooden blades are the issue, and stick to woodens for my first attempts at upsidedown!

    well, some time later i finally discovered what had been causing the tracking problem. it was a very small crack in the flybar seasaw holder. a new one imediately curred the problem. just thought i would add this to finaly close the thread. always nice to find the problem

    I've only just seen this thread & was about to say check your seesaw screws but you've sorted it now. My 450 had traking issues for a LONG LONG time & i couldn't understand why. It literaly took a smidge of a turn of both screws to cure it. Anyhow i'm glad you've found the issue & can enjoy the 400 more now.

    Good to hear mate. So relieving when you finally discover the cause.
