Would 325mm Blades fit on Belt CP

[callum]

Hey All,

Just about to order some more blades for a bit of stock incase i crash

currently the Belt CP uses 315mm Blades but i can get 2 sets of 325mm blades cheaper then getting 2 sets of 315s

so Would 325mm blades fit and work fine in the Belt CP

or is it a tad too big?

Regards
Callum

No Problems mate, funnily enough I prefer the 315's to 325's.

i used to have 325's on my belt cp they work fine i also had a trex 450 canopy on it, just need to buy the mounts and it fits straight on

Sold some 325s to backroslea and he hasn't asked for his money back yet, so I reckon they are okay. From my experience putting 315s on a MiniPred that should take 300s or 305s, I can say that I prefer this set up too.

Cheers Guys.

So would you suggest i stick with the 315s then?

Your choice, matey. I got some lovely glass fibre 325s from ebay for £9 posted and I also got 2 pairs of wooden 315s also for £9 posted. They were both excellent and both would fit a Belt CP. So it's really just down to your choice and whether you feel that a blade strike is imminent or not: if you're confident in your flying go for the GF version.

It's basically down to a personal choice mate, this week I've done some testing with a pair of 325's and 315's on my T450, and I prefer the 315's now I fly a bit more nuttier then I used to.

TBH I can't put my finger on it, I just seem to have more fun when fitted out with 315's

I would guess being a tad longer the 325's are more stable, but as I say it's something I found after having many, many hours real flying.

align carbon 325s are the way to go with a twitchy belt cp. It made a massive difference to the stability of mine...

I thought you were selling me the belt!!

If you're fitting Align blades (or those cheap fibreglass 325's from Hong Kong (which I've found fine by the way)), you'll find they are thinner at the headstock. Just add a 3.2mm rivet washer to pack it out. Works for both the plastic head and the metal one

There is a whole thread about the pros and cons of fitting 1 or two washers, I personally fit one above and one below....

Thanks Guys , Well ile order 2 sets of 325s from DealExtreme for 9 dollars and some 315s

i was going to get the metal head upgrade but found out that some people had bad tracking problems
