  • MD 500 Composite blades

    From Jonathan St. Cloud@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 2 11:58:47 2015
    Maybe 5-7 years ago I had a conversation with a bade manufacturer who said they were close to having a compost main rotor blade for an MD500. Was claiming a 10% increase in performance. Anyone know if any composite blades have been developed and
    certified for the MD 500"s?

    the Mini 500 (CH-7 Angel ripoff) had compost blades.

    The question was about composite blades for MD 500 series.
