Torsion Blades Burst open

Seems like another case of the bloody Modelling trade forgetting about customer service, and probably Trade descriptions (OK, maybe this MIGHT be arguable). I must admit to being a little surprised at Petr's response !

Who actually supplied the blades ?, your "contract" is with the retailer, not the manufacturer, personally I'd be screaming WARRANTY.

Another model manufacturer to cross of my personal "no go" list

I bought them at fastlad but I in no way hold them or Torsion for that matter responsible, I did after all run them into my leg a use which cannot be seen as normal. How hard it was cannot be measured so I must bow to their expert knowledge. I was just surprised at how readily the rear of the blades peeled apart. If I thought I had a leg to stand on (no pun intended ) I would have contacted FastLad. I just want others to be aware of the blades weaknesses.

Personally I still have doubts about the process they are using to distribute the bonding agent evenly as this was far from a uniform separation of the trailing edge, it only separated in places with other places remaining bonded.

The areas where it had separated really didn't look at though much had been holding them together in the first place, very clean surfaces.

The message seems to be clear, if Torsion regard this as reasonable performance and not a case of a lack of sufficient bonding on this particular set of blades then this helps us form our own opinions regarding which blades we choose to buy.

Nicely put Mark. Even though I have a GF set on at the moment, following my next in they won't be replaced.
