    As we are all aware Edge blades have not been in production. So in terms of flight characteristics, what would you consider the closest blades to be?

    Is it true switch bought the edge moulds?

    For some reason edge have always felt more robotic / stable / locked in for me which I like. It could be because they are straight in shape. I have found the tapered tip blades to be less so.

    What are your findings.

      I'd give cyclones a go, I really like them and they are my blade of choice, plus you'll get extra flight time. They are not tapered, but fatter at the tip with a slight sweep.

      SWITCH blades are similar and probably better than edge in my opinion. Bert did a good job on the remake. The COG is different...
