Is there a big difference between the semi and full sem blades? I have the full now and I ordered a pair of the semi from Airborne models, the 550's for my rap 30. Will I have to change my pitch curve much? I hover at 6 deg now.

I use both kinds depending on the need. The semis are great for scalers as they produce better lift and the flight is smoother, but there is a drawback, inverted suffers big time. Simply put if you want to learn to do 3D manouvers use only sym. mains but, if you just wanna tool around in FF and maybe loop and roll and auto then semi mains will perform better especially if its a good set with washout and curved tips. I tried both kinds on my Airwolf and the semis were far better able to handle the weight and it flew much smoother without being pitchy. My 3D helis all use fully sym. I tried inverted on my 60 and my 30 with semis and the performance sucked basicly when inverted. After I replaced them with the syms everything is back to usual.

Semi's actually are better for learning. If you're not into inverted flight, the semi's will be great. They also auto better. Do check your pitch curve.

How much will my pitch curve change? I am at -2 +3 +6 +8 +10 that seems to be working good for me at this time.

I noticed that I didnt have to change my pitch curve much just less at top.
The heli may hover with slightly less pitch and the headspeed will be lower, you will have to install and track them and fine adjust the pitch to suit as there are too many variables involved but nothing major.
