The Blade 200 "Bumble Bee" SRX

I noticed on some pictures of the blade 200 it has a tail rotor with two blades, maybe it is a bit stronger ?e13-200srx-07_1.jpg

i believe they changed to 3 blades after or before they released it. I guess it was better. This way if one breaks, the other two still work fine! As for aerodynamics, the two would have been better maybe? I am guessing 3 = more lift = less motor speed = less overheating

Oh ok, it's just a pity that the three blade ones break when you breathe on them.

I fitted a new one once, and it hadn't come into contact with anything, all was going well until I did a pirouette or whatever you call it, and two of the blades just fired off like an angry porcupine. It made a weird buzzing noise, but still landed perfectly with only one blade left

Hopefully Rakon will make some Carbon Fiber blades
