| That stuff said, here are some suggestions:
1. I know there is at least one set of leftover RT700's that can be had from a guy here on RR. Do a post in the WTB section. I bought three of the last sets of these blades available anywhere this winter.
2. SAB has a new sym. 700 mm (or was it 680mm?)FAI blade that I've heard flies pretty well. Motors and Rotors in the UK can supply these, as can Cyberheli.
3. KSJ has the fiberglass version of the version carbon blade that Ito used to win the Nats. You'll need to get them from Japan. Opinions vary on how well this blade flies. They just a bit over $100 a set, though. You don't want to know how much the carbon ones cost.
4. I would be inclined to avoid any leftover Radix FAI blades. Unless you REALLY tweak the pitch curve and REALLY learn how they behave in the wind, they can get pretty jumpy when the wind gets up.
5. The Hirobo glass and carbon blades have a washout airfoil. The glass blades are affordable. The carbon ones are, well, "pricey".
