i have flown 90, 92's and 95's.
Actually i don't feel that much difference between them.
But what i can say is that anything larger than 90's has been hit by the
mains in the air. :mrgreen:
I'm going back to 85's but with a bigger cord. Probably sab's.

95s and 92s

Stock black boom 92s, titan boom 95s. I went from the white stock ones, to the 95s, and wow what a difference.

They are like 80mm or so. You can run up to 92 on a stock V2 w/o interference problems, the sabs are great.

My R50 V2 has 95's on the tail, and and 600 mains, and I don't see how this is possible with the amount of clearance between the mains and tail? Are you running 620s? There would have to be a HUGE amount of flex in the boom to allow them to come together... :dontknow

95's can hit if you push it it has nothing to do with flex in the boom.

95s can hit with the BLACK boom not the silver one. IT IS POSSIBLE, ive seen it happen before, on the bench that is.

The Raptor white tail blades pv0037 are 84mm from bolt hole to tip that come stock with the 30v2 and the 50v2.I'm using NHP 85 new weave, however these are a thicker blade at approx 5.18mm compared to the align carbon tail blades I have on my 600trex which are 95 but the thickness in 4.31mm. No issues on either one, however they have diverent gyros and of course one is nitro and the other is electric. 600 TT blades on both helis
