These hubs are completely unfit for the job. I have since done a modification which others have done, that is to fit an aluminium disc over the standard hub which now takes all the load of the blades. It works fine. I made one for both 4 & 5 blade hubs. My advice, forget the 4 blade. This motor is under powered with 5 blades , using the identical blades but only 4 just makes it worse. Currently experimenting using 5s & 6s batteries.
Its a lovely model but was ruined by simply making a few mistakes in the design stage. It is 90pcnt correct. HK should have changed the hub to a stronger plastic (easy) and fitted a stronger motor. It would have been that simple, instead they have dumped the model. Luckily I bought quite a few spinners and strengthen these a well.

Nearly blew my face off running my five blade fury nearly up to max revs before first flight. Entire hub exploded sending blades flying a long way. This hub is not strong enough. I was lucky I was behind the model. It ripped the motor off and damaged the cowling. This plane hasn't even flown yet. I will be sourcing alternative blade set up. Had this plane been in the air or near other people!

Essential replacement item - nicely shaped and exactly like the originals - always good to have some spare blades
