Roban 700/800 Size MD-500E 5B Main Blade Set Reviews

4.3 Rating 6 Reviews
This is my second set of blades, my first set of blades had a bunch of little holes on the leading edge where it looks like there was not enough material used when building them. I emailed Roban directly and they offered to send me a replacement but after giving them my address they since ghosted me. Oh well. So I bought a set from motion RC. I get the ones from motion RC and sure enough they also have holes in the leading edge of one blade showing poor construction quality. Do I dare try to get a 3rd set of blades? It makes me very nervous trusting a $4000 helicopter to fly with blades that have very obvious structural problems.

I am building a 700 size MD500E with CCW main blade rotation just like the real deal. These fit the mark for that. These measure 760mm so are too long for a 700 size so I cut them down to 680mm and was able to rebalance them by just sanding a little bit on the ends. I painted the tips anyway so cutting was not an issue.

The set of 800mm 5 blade scale rotor blades are shipped very fast, great quality, and I can't wait to get them on my helicopter.

Great blades for my 700 size Roban MD500E. They were spot on with CG and I fine tuned balance to .01 grams.They come with balance tape and it didn't take much.I recommend these for your MD500's!!
