I like the TST's on my 90. Although I'd prefer to have a set of SX's.

I run them on my stratus and love them. To be fair, i don't fly at a level where i am able to tell any noticable difference from the standard V-blades though...

I'm running the 600 TST's on my 600N. To be frank, they're ok. I still prefer my 610s over them and would really like to try the V2's. I did some adjustments to my head to liven things up a little bit more. I'm hoping the blades will shine once I fly it again. I'll report back.

...now where was I, dh/dt = BS-dx/dt
I will fly you forever... till earth do us part

I love the v-blades, they are like air knives.

Having said that, I am using SAB 620's on the 50. I change them in and out but love the new sabs!

A respected coleage of mine and I swapped blades to try each other's. He had V Blades TST and I have Rotor Tech 600mm. He warned me the TST blades are unforgiving in bad collective management and will bog down easier. I found he was right. When he tried my Rotor Tech 600mm blades he liked he pop they provided, good tracking, and how they gave him room for error on collective management within advanced maneuvers.

That said: it is up to you to try and decide. IMO, undoubtedly the Rotor Tech blades are awesome compared to the Radix 600mm blades and less pricey than V Blades TST.

I hate my tst v blades. They are mega slow on cyclic and bog the hell out of the engine when doing 4 point tic tocs. However, they do have great pop.

My favorite blades are the align "D".

After trying
v-blades tst
Radix 600 and 600sb
Rotortech 610 and 600

1- all out cyclic response rotortech 610
1- best compromise rotortech 600

2- radix 600 come second but close
2- radix 600sb quite good auto considering their weight,

3- v-blades are the best at collective response
but too power hungry and are lack in autorotations, I have one dented set to sell real cheap (25$+shipping)

of course this is my opinion, differents needs for differents peoples :-)

V Blades are power hungry, that's true. They have the extra pop which is good in them but otherwise I prefer Radix and Sab blades. V's are good lookin

. Radixes are probably the best blades I've ever owned.
