    As Edge are coming to there end and becoming harder to get a hold of, I am thinking about using rail blades. What are thoughts and why?

      Rails blades are very nice to fly... Only ever flown a set on a Goblin 500.. But Nice.... Only thing was there was not enough white on the blades, so i could not really see the disc.. And that put me off

      Fly them on the 700... they feel nice... I prefer them over the edge se set I have... maybe it's just because I'm used to them first blades I ran on the 700.

      All I fly now, great blades. Good looking blades and fly well.

      I have only flown Align and SAB blades..... for me they are better.

      I love Rail, and they are all I fly now. I have tried Edge, Mavrikk, Spin Blades and V Blades, and Rails are the ones I like best. Plenty of pop, they track very well, and feel better ( to me) on autos.

      Personally I agree with Geena, the Rail blades seem more efficient and provide less drag and more performance. The only thing about Edge is that they tend to be noisier which would explain the in-efficiency by comparison.

      I really liked the Rail blades on my gobby 500, But for me they where a bit hard to see. I like more white on blades.

      Don't feel bad, I'm 35 and have senior moments all the time. Lol

      Rails are fantastic blades. Efficient, poppy, fast cyclic response, and they even do well at high speeds. You should give them a go for sure.
