Is this Swift a good deal?

[Smoothound]

I know when you bought it...I was watching...GIT


I realised once I thought about it the Nexus blades are no good unless I can find a sleeve to bring the bolt holes down to 3mm.

Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained, got a set of MS carbons from my Eco 8 but they are lacking in length although the bolt holes are the correct size

How are your seamstress skills mate?? ;-)

I'm sure I've seen the sleeves on the century website or Midland helis...
If not I'm sure a nice email to the boys at Century uk would get you some.

If you really get stuck you could make your own, its only brass tubing after all.


Just looked at websites and they dont sell them seperate :-(
You say yours has stock woodies? You should be able to just push the sleeves out dude and bung em in the other bladeholes.
I stand corrected on the min blade length too mate, the carbon upgrades are 515mm at century.

Smoothhound, I can turn you a set up on the lathe if you tell me the size !

I made them for mine too !! 5mm outside 3mm inside as I remember

[Smoothound]

Yeah it looks like the Nexus blades are probably a bit long at 530mm plus I think this one only has the basic motor so it will struggle with the extra length


Martin if I try them and can't find anything locally I may hold you to that Ta!!!

530mm is not too long for a Swift, Thats what I fly with made by Fun-Key.

550mm is the size of the woodies that come with it. 580mm would be too long as thats what I have on the rex 600.

I just read that the Century CF blades were 515mm thats all, oh well looks like I need some sleeves then
