Tracking problems with Align 600 SP blades

[t-rex pedro]

Anyone else had tracking problems with the new wood core Align 600 super pro blades? I tried a set on my 600 as a direct comparison to my usual Radix SB's but the tracking is all over the place. One flight they are perfect, the next you could drive a bus through the gap! (Btw, the Radix track perfectly on the same heli).

As a side note these blades are very stiff but pretty good. Less forgiving than Radix SB's but I would still fly them if it wasnt for the tracking issue as the cost is so much less (20 odd quid per set). They auto pretty good too.

I know of one mate that had the same problem and wondered how common this was.

Same here Neat!! I had a pair and they were shocking, sent them back and bought a pair of Radix.

Shame really cause they are a great price

sounds like a rearward CG issue...... or the weights are moving aroud inside the blade.

I had problems with the 600 night blades. Wouldn't track on one heli, but tracked on the other (prefectly). I swapped the heads across and it is the all metal head that they will track on. The other head is all metal except the mixer arms on the seesaw.
Both heads have plastic blade grips.
Perhaps some rearward CG blades need the extra stiffness of metal upper mixers to track?
I intend to do a bit more work to discover what the difference is between the heads.
funkey silvers and GLX v1 and v2 both track perfect on both heads.
