Paint has weight and because of the shape of the blades it becomes very difficult to have a fully painted blade and the correct CG at the same time without it weighing heaps.

 

Yes I thought that MIGHT have something to do with it but printing and consistency is very very accurate nowdays. And some manufactures make very visible blades. You see I am not after a complete blade coating, rather just a white stipe towards the end so a visible disk is formed. I mean they can make night blades - that would be horrendously more difficult to balance. So it might just be a cost thing. If i had to pay 10 bucks more for visible blades that were great quality, it would not even be a question in my mind..

 

Nick maxwell wanted no clear coat and no paint on his helix blades and there was a video about it somewhere.

 

that's why I like EDGE blades I think they are more visible makes the disk stand out more

 

Sab red devils make a nice halo

 

Thats probably because he is so dam good he wants a challenge!... Next will be flying blind folded....

 

I used to fly Revolution blades on my Rush 700. They have a fair amount of white paint near the tips and were very visible in the air.

 

And does it make you feel more confident when you fly? I notice that subliminally I feel more relaxed being able to easily see the disk..

 

Yes it does. It help a bunch to see the angle of the disc!
