Thread: Blade bolt reinforcement

Got a set of cheap carbon blades for my 600 from align trex today. They look ok for £30 but the bolt hole although the right size for the bolt, has no reinforcing as in a brass bushing.
Is it safe to fly like this or should I ream the hole and insert a brass ring ??

they will be fine to fly as the brass sleaves are normally to reduce the hole size from 4mm to 3mm you should find the plastic goes right through the blade and your bolts fit nicely through it

Yeh they should be fine, many blades including old style v blades had no inserts
