I bought a set of Mavrikk Patroit Carbon blades for my Raptor 30 and
they cause a shake or a wobble while hovering. The Blades are close to
perfect on balance with about a 1" difference while suspended on 2
glasses. The chord of 1 blade is .060 wider than the other for the
entire span, so would this difference cause the shake? The rotor RPM is
1650. This is on a V1 with 15-20 flights. Never crashed and I just
started forward flight. The shake went away when I put the woodies back
on and they balance exactly the same as the new blades.

Thanks, Todd.

Hi Todd,

I just ordered a set of these same blades last night from HeliProz
before I found this post. Keep us posted as to what you find out. I
hear nothing but good things about these blades. A buddy of mines uses
the Mavrikk Blades (not the patriot) and he loves them. Any way, I'm
curious of your findings.

Thanks, Heliraptor
