Nice Blades but.....These are very nice prop blades, but there was a difference of 0.4g in weight between the two blades. As you can imagine, the front of the fuselage had the shakes when I tried a static test (it was at this stage I weighed them). I ended up sanding the front and rear surface of the heavier blade until it matched the lighter one, and repolished it. The other issue was I needed to remove bulges from the roots as they were preventing the blades opening. Hopefully Neil reads these reviews and feeds them back to manufacturers, at least match up pairs of blades better. Having said all this I would use these again, as once balanced are great, and fold nice and close to the fuselage when used with a CN-U Spinner.
