Tail Blades
The stock blades are very good. Only with the most extreme maneuvres they may be just a little too small on a Raptor 50. Making them longer is not really an option as this increases the risk of collision with the main blades. Check this thread on runryder. However a bit wider blades seems possible. Hobby Taiwan Corporation (hobby.taiwan@msa.hinet.net) has tail blades that are just a fraction wider. The HT blade is a clearly wider at the tip, where it matters most. At the root the HT blade is only 2 mm wider than TT blades. The root is just a fraction too thin to fit tight in the blade holders, but I think this will pose no problems. I'm trying them out now.
