Are the blades proprietary? If so how much will they be?

I have quite a bit of quad/hexa-copter flying and the #1 problem I have had is replacing blades. Luckily my more expensive copter I have uses the same blades as RC planes so they can be ordered cheaply, but thats not the case with my other drone. I can foresee a huge headache for your users if the pocket drone uses proprietary blades.

I'm not sure whether the blades are proprietary, but I can find out if you like. A full set of matched and balanced blades currently sells for $19.95: http://www.thepocketdrone.com/store/p3/Pre-order_Spare_Prope...
