You get what you pay for. In this case, you get packages of multiple blades out of necessity. By the very nature of coaxial helicopters (counterrotating upper & lower blade) designs, the possibility of the upper & lower blades striking each other during extreme maneuvers, exists. The more flexible the blade, the more likely the strike event. These blades are VERY flexible. You don't even need to try very hard to ding, chip, or tear them.

These blades will fly fine until you can get better blades. I've gone thru 5 sets of blades in about a month. After installing a better quality (Xtreme) blade, I've gotten no strikes, nicks or chips on the new blades.

If you're an aggressive flyer, get 2 3-packs of upper blades + 2 3-packs of lower blades to last you while your order of better blades is in the mail.

I have a Lama V4, and let me tell you these blades are what they are. Standard, stock replacement blades. They are very fragile as they bend heavily when in air. When in flight they "cone" upwards creating several opportunities for blade strikes, and when these blades strike they break.

They work, but there are better options out there. Xtreme blades are one option. Also there is a company named Helitek-RC that sells basic "Hardened white blades" that work very well as well. Both alternatives will help minimize blade breakage. Helitek-RC sells their hardened blades (one set of upper and lowers in each) for 3.50 a package. Xtreme usually goes for around 5 a set of uppers or lowers. They may cost more per-blade, but you get your moneys worth out of either.

These standard blades work. They will get you back in the air, but be ready to go through them like a hot knife through butter, especially if you try to fly outdoors.
