Carbon Tail Blades in Japan for Lepton

[xircom]

In Japan you can buy many things, but what I haven't seen in many shops, are carbon tail blades for the Lepton (i.e. 58-68mm), anyone ? Prefereable in Tokyo, but internet also ok. Thanks a lot !

Scroll down a bit and you will see 68mm tail blades.

Or cut some trex 600 tail blades to length you want them. And shim the hole thats what i have done to r50 tail blades works great.

How about the 62mm ones - similar as stock ? I am afraid with 68mm it might be touching ground, considering the weak tail fin ...

If i were you i would buy trex 600 blades and cut them down jus so they dont hoit the ground. I just did this with swift tail balades(2 for 4$!!!!) and they are great.

hi, no problem with cut, just I thought normally blades are thicker at the beginning than at the end, and if I am going to cut, the maybe the balance is off, because the whole thing is thicker overall, and also I would have to re-balance them ?

I blanace mine and they arent very much off in fact last pair i just cut(swift tailblades) were perfectly on. Just glue the roots together with a touch of ca and put them on two equal ledges then balance them. I use two align cases on a flat surface for the ledges.

on that http://www.rcmarket.org/home.php?cat=68 site, there is also carbon tail fins available, which one would you recommend ?

Right now, using Quick EP8v2 tail blades, their size on the holder is just exactly the size of the stock, but of course they're longer, actually 69mm (whole) and 64 (hole to end). Fantastic price 420Yen, other shops also very cheap (e.g. http://www.mfis.net/microflight/shop 5Euro). Tried it out yesterday, works very well ...

Anybody knows a shop - international shipping, which offers all same time: carbon tail, main blades and carbon fins ? Also the braces for the main frame would be nice :roll:
