  • K&B tail blades

    I had some carbon hobby tail blades that have delaminated at the tip at the slightest touch on the ground.
    this was rubbish compared to the open square ended NHP ones I had before that lasted ages and worked really well.

    I was looking at the K&B moulded tail blades and reading some good reports about them (the normal ones not the glow in the dark ones).
    Anyone use them on here for 3D on a 50 size machine?
    using the 84mm 30/50 or the 102mm 60/90?

    Who else stocks them other than www.sportsmoto.co.uk?

    Just been doing some measuring
    My NHP blades were 84mm
    The ones i just damaged at the tip are 95mm
    That'll be why I grounded them so easy then http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/images...5_b/blush5.gif


    I wonder how close they are to hitting the mains in flight...

    I think I'll try he k&B 84mm ones.

      Many like the KB's very much. I personally don't. I feel they flex in flight and the tail doesn't feel as crisp as it was before. Since you need shorter blades, have you considered the NHP 85mm, SAB 87mm (beautiful blade with diagonal white) or even the KOK Extreme 85mm (also beautiful with half white strip)

        i do like them a lot. noisy, but with a well set gyro they are fantastic! used the "50" on my Logo 500 with a lot of success.

        Never tried any more, moved onto V-Tail blades and not looked back
