Replacing DW with RAF blades yea or nea?

[barnstorm2]

I few DW's on my 2 place before I balled it all up.

I have been planning on getting another set of DWs ( I was very happy with them). However, I have a potental money saving deal on some RAF type blades.

I don't like the idea of doing any more R&D than I half to on my rebuild but money is a motovator.

If anyone can share an opinion I would be greatful.

I'm satisfied with my RAF blades...but I'd like to try the SC blades. :rolleyes:

My original RAF blades were not tip weighted. They developed a crack in the trailing edge of one blade and RAF replaced them; with the new tip weighted ones. You can easily add weight...washers...to the blade ends , if you want to play around with tracking and balancing.

You're getting the RAF hubbar also? A lot of adjustments are available with that hubbar.

Personally, I prefer the tip weighted blades. ;)


Cheers :)
