Maybe 5-7 years ago I had a conversation with a bade manufacturer who
said they were close to having a compost main rotor blade for an
MD500. Was claiming a 10% increase in performance. Anyone know if
any composite blades have been developed and certified for the MD
500"s?


the Mini 500 (CH-7 Angel ripoff) had compost blades.


The question was about composite blades for MD 500 series.
