I have not actually flown some respectable carbon fibers beyond what Align offers (I'm very cheap and try to get the most bang for buck so I usually get the LED blades...so besides getting much better performance than wood blades i can fly at night too...yay)...however I have to say these are worth it! Super stiff and agile on Beam scorpion -8 13 tooth pinion. I just wish there was cosmetic flaw option. Maybe I'm cheap but I also tend to get gutsy and end up crashing too. I already went through a pair in less than a week! X(
These make a nice white ring during flight which looks great and the fade from black to carbon is very well done. I have to say the black and white blades are probably the best option for visibility as sometimes you need the black and sometimes the white. While I not applicable to the Beam, the inclusion of plastic blade grip washers is nice. I use them on my blade 400 now instead of the discs i fashioned out of old phone card.

flew it on my 450 all these times, and they measure 325mm from the mounting hole, and they're longer than the radix, but being as light and having a larger disk in flight, crazy collective punch is super fun and they're great for 3D, doesn't bog or anything

Great Blades!

These Blades have a BEAUTIFUL finish and are balanced perfectly. Very stiff with great pop! They're actually 7mm longer from bolt hole to tip then a standard 325mm blade, but weigh in at a very light 23 grams! I'm flying them on a BEAM with a Scorpion -8 motor. Great Combo!
