Walkera 4G6 high performance blade MOD

4G6 blade mods DIY

Here I found an innovative guy,timewrex who put efforts on modifying his 4G6, from wingtip to tail rotor blade. Here is how he mods the blade to increase its efficiency and survivability after crash.
He stated this mod is intended to be removable and Replaceable. On average, it takes 5 crashes before the paper tips affect performance.
Good quality white glue such as ‘Elmer’s Glue All’ should be used, as it offers strong enough bonding to the paper, carbon core, and foam. Other glues will make it difficult when remove, and it will leave an irremovable residue on the carbon core and may melt the foam. White glue forms a very strong bond while stay easy to clean it after all.
To remove damaged paper tip, cut a slit in the paper parallel to the carbon core. Avoid cutting the foam or the carbon core. Then tear the paper tip off.
Finally, cut another tip from the template and apply to the blade following steps 6 to 11 in the instructions below. Then you will have a brand-new looking blade, which is still performing as good as when it out of the box, that cost almost nothing to repair! Enjoy!

Advices to 4G6 blade MOD

These 4g6 mods has only been tested with the stock motor (both KV11000 and KV10000 versions) and with HP08-2 1S up to 20T pinion using stock Walkera ESC. The mods has not been tested with high performance motors such as HP08 2S which will produce higher RPM and higher risk for rotor components, including the mods.
Do not use defective stock parts. Make sure your stock 4G6 has been fully flight tested in full stock configuration to ensure everything is working.
Do not use defective materials. Ensure that all materials you use, including glue had the highest quality for these mods.
Do not apply these mods to helicopters other than the 4G6
The experimental and DIY nature of these mods is not by any professional work! There are still chances of failure, think twice!
