Guys

I am new to Heli's I have a Raptor 50 V2 I have a ton of Spares except tail blades. What size Blades go on this bird? It has a set of Cutris Youngbloods on it now. I purchased it used so I didn't do the setup. 95mm 85mm 105mm which ones?

I was always told that the standard 50 boom was too short for 95's. I take it you guys have had no clearance issues between the main and tails?

92 with the stock boom, 95 can hit but if you aren't doing anything extreme its not an issue. You really dont need anything longer than that.

The coment 95 is what's on it is actualy incorrect, sorry, The original tail blades are 95mm if measured end to end, but the correct measurement is from the bolt hole to the end which is 85mm. When you order blades, tail or main, they are measured from the bolt hole. I was not aware of this when I ordered my first set of carbon tail blades and got 95mm. They fit fine, never hit the mains, but I wasn't doing 3D. A guy at a fly-in showed me a set of 600mm main blades that had a cut from the tip going down the center of the blade and said, "this is what happens with 95mm".
