with the xes package that readyheli sells, comes with the short boom conversion. if you look at readyheli's parts list for it, and check the short boom description it says with short boom to use 475mm blades. but, the kit came with 515mm (i think) carbons. is this kosher? do i need to get shorter blades?

I'm using 500's on my short boom and it certainly looks as if there should be enough room, but don't blame me if it all goes horribly wrong :)

I have used both RCP 500mm and MS 515mm blades with no problems. I am using Align's thrusted tail (H60109) and 82mm tail blades. After a quick measurement it looks like I would need a main blade at around 525mm to induce a tail blade strike with my setup.
