Superskids V.3 http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-Skids-Blade-CP-E-Sky-Honeybee-Night-Ranger-2-Heli_W0QQitemZ320083698556QQcmdZViewItem there is a few places that sell them.

I have them on my CPP. I removed the tail boom braces cause it was too tail heavy. They dont do anything anyway, the "braces" are just a bit of flexible wire that does nothing at all.
The skids are strong though and look very cool. also a bit higher than stock so it keeps the tail out of the grass better.

Others may CG fine with the superskids tho. I forgot to mention i also have the DD tail, which is way heavier than the stock setup.

I have two sets of superskids and three of the stock ones. So far I havent broken a single set of skids. I'm flying with the stock ones for now to keep the weight down and because the superskids looks kinda big with the blade canopy. I'm hoping to get another scale fuse soon and will probably go back to the sk's. If you havent tried the DD tail yet I recommend you do so. The tail rotor is smaller so its less likely to hit the ground on bad landings or tail scrapes not to mention it holds extrememly well for the CPP. The plastic fin thingy is pretty weak as it will flex when its on the ground but I think if I reverse the current and flip it up so I can use the cf Microheli tail fin I'll be in good shape. I dont know if reversing the polarity on the tail motor will hurt anything but I'll let yta know if your interested.
