Blades, Night Flying and Painting > NHP blades ARE darn good blades

Guys, I brag about products that do right by me and I am here to say I have got the best blades known to man on my Sceadu. I installed a set of NHP 600's on a little whle back and am very imressed. The fly great, auto smooth and best of all survive crashes. Yep I said SURVIVE crashes.

I plowed my Sceadu in because my OS 50 (again) crapped out. I was at full collective and in a hard turn and the engine died. Well since I am not great at auto's I crashed busted up my Sceadu pretty good, However the blades only had some dirt on them and they where good to go. I fly the blades without the covering.

Now since I bragged about one good product I have to complain about one. My OS 50 is the biggest hunk of junk. I think I got a late Friday afternoon engine. All I read is how great the OS 50 is and I got a Lemon. It has died on me 23 times. I have successfully autoed 21 of those 23, twice I crashed. It eats OS 8 glow plugs like a 4 year old eats a candy bar. When I have disassembled the engine it is fine. No sign of damage internally. Carb has been cleaned several times. Oh well...I'll beat the OS 50 up another day.

Like I said guys, The NHP blades are great and the price isn't bad either. SO if you are looking for a set of carbon blades that won't bust you and survive the bad hits. Get the NHP's.

OS 50

"the OS 50 is and I got a Lemon. It has died on me 23 times."," eats OS 8 glow plugs like a 4 year old eats a candy bar. "

If I were a "Betting man" I would have to bet you were running to lean. find someone with a tempture gauge, even if the engine was "bad" it should not eat plugs like that.

good luck, let us know Chris Coker

I run 660mm NHP Sports on my X-Cell 60.
The NHP's like rpm so keep them running at 1600 rpm or higher and they perform great.
I have heard that they do not Auto as well as today's composite blades but in a couple of forced Autos I was able to get the chopper down without damage and that is with any atorotation expirience at all !!
I have heard good things about the Sitar blades and will order some soon.
In regards to the engine, the word has gotten around that OS has dropped the ball lately.
I sugest to either get a YS (if they make a 50) or a Rossi 5 Port.
I had a Rossi aero engine in my X-cell and experienced pilots that flew my chopper commented on the power of it, the engine was 10 years old then and the ring was fairly worn.

Actually

CC,

In truth the engine is filthy rich on the low and high side. What happens is the mid range leans out real bad. I have been fighting this for as long as I have owned this engine (2 months). I actually thought I had it fixed except that it just crashed for the same problems I was having. Ufortunatly I can't put a temp gauge on it. I have NEVER seen an engine operate like this one has. Granted my experence is only that of 6 engines and this being the 7th.

I have been round and round on the engine I have come to the conclusion that I am going to just send it back and get a new one or something. My only problem is getting it out of country. Darn it! Since I am in the Military all our mail leaving base (Germany) is not going. It's just stacking up.

Thanks for offering the suggestion though.

NHP's are great

I have flown NHP's before and they are very well built/designed blades. Although I don't think as good as V-Blades, but still only a couple points shy of them.
BTW, I heard Rossi will be putting out a .32 engine soon, is that true?

Volkul,

I can tell you that NHP blades doesnt always survive crashes.. I´ve "plown" me ergo inverted once.. each blade was split in 3 pieces..

Yes, the NHP 600´s is a nice blade.. I have a pair on my Ergo.. it autos.. but it doesnt auto great! I had a flameout right in a pirroflip at 5-10 meters altitude (inverted) with my Ergo (also os 50, but the clunkline was broken) and I managed to get it around pretty good.. but boy was the headspeed low when it was "right-way-up".. could almost count the blades

OS 50

Hi Volkul, i'm glad that i'm not the only one who had problems with the OS50. Mine did the exact same thing that yours is doing. I had mine in a Raptor 30, (to make matters worse :+)

I played with it a few tanks then pulled it out and sold it, since I couldn't get it to work right.

I initially thought it was the heli's light weight and 550mm blades causing the problem by not loading the motor, but maybe not.

I heard that shimming the head might fix the problem, although I never tried it.

BTW, mine came from Cyber-heli. Maybe the US version is different and does not require head shimming????
