| Ultimately, blade selection is as personal as picking a toothbrush or the type of underwear you wear, Consequently, I am not really surprised there are so many different opinions amongst Pantera owners. As I was recently reminded, you guys are by and large men who make up their own minds, i.e. you don't follow the crowds. This thread is proof. Hence, I hope you fellows will some day consider trying a set of our SWE Rotors. I liked them so much I began importing them.
Our 600mm blades are $79.99 and the 620mm are $81.99. And for sport pilots we offer our 600mm composites for a tad over 60 bucks, which are built in the same 600mm mold.
In the hands of a duffer like myself, our sport blades perhaps fly better. Why? Because they flex a little more. They're less expensive because they feature an FRP skin and are reinforced with carbon in the leading and trailing edges as well as in the spar area. They're plenty strong but more forgiving than a full carbon blade, and because I'm not the best pilot in the world I really can't tell any difference . . . except in my wallet!
