  • nice looking carbon tail blades :)

    carbon blades look so luverly.... shall I get some??

    I have some "V" ?? main blades on my raptor 50 ( i think they are called V blades) but only the normnal placcy tail blades...so it looks odd.

    is there an issue with fitting nice carbon tail blades? Mess up the gyro settings? make it more twitchy to fly?? I won't do it if it causes a problem to a learner...

    carbon tails will make the tail hold more solid and give you better responce as the plastics tens to flex when moved

    Don't argue with idiot's on forums; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

      Only problem it really causes for a learner are that crashes cost more

        Plus, V tail blades look good too
        I used them on my Sceadu Evo 50 for quite a while.
        When they broke, I replaced them with Radix tails (which are equally as good) as I couldn't get Vs again at the time.

        Cheers,

            Hum,

            Just ordered some NHP's for the Knight as the basic ones flex like anything, so waiting to see if they improve things....

              Just ordered some NHP 95s for my rappy 50 too. Hopefully they will sort out my tail problem where its both too soft and wagging at the same time and look cool as well!

                If those NHPs you speak of are the open ended vareity, watch those ends as I have found that the foam inside them works it's way out in bits slowly but surely. Depends how much you drag them through the floor/mud/grass etc I guess...

                Good blades though...

                  Thanks - I have ordered the closed end ones.
                  Cheers, Lee.

                    Er

                    I hadn't dam it, mine maybe open.. Would a bit of glue stop it from comming out?

                      if they are the old NHP's(doubtful) just seal them with cyno on the tip
                      but the newer type like i have they're radiused sealed tip like the new razor mains.
                      but they'll probably be the new type
                      cheers Lee


                      If it ain't broke fix it until it is
                      yes i'm an idiot and no i couldn't care any less

                        I used the open tipped NHPs on my 90 for ages. my club mate has been using them on his 70 for over 3 years. We've seen no evidence of the foam coming out.

                        I recently changed over to the newer sealed tip type just because I got them for about £3 on ebay. They look a lot better, and the performance is identical to the open tipped ones.

                        I've actually got a 2nd hand pair of open tipped 90 sized NHP razor main blades in my shed which I'm planning to put on a heli soon.
