I would like to get some night blades for the Logo 500 3D.
I was thinking :
MS Night 550/12/3mm CF 550mm 50mm 12mm 3mm
But it doesn't list the Logo 500 3D as a suggested heli. Would it work?
For the tail blades - I'm not sure about size - would any of the following do well?
MS Composit 97/5mm CF 97mm 5mm 3mm
MS Composit 102/5mm CF 102mm 5mm 3mm
MS Composit 107/5mm CF 107mm 5mm 3mm
These are from:

Hmmm....
Maybe i should rephrase the question.
What is the proper way to measure the stock tail blade?
From end to end - or from the mounting hole to end?

Those main blades would work, except for the 3mm mounting hole - the Logo 500 head has 4mm bolts. Give Esprit a call and check, because they might just ship with sleeves you can pop out.

I don't know if those are different main blades, but these are listed as allowing 4mm bolts:

The tail blades also appear they would fit, but are 97mm long.
I measured the stock blades at 86mm long
What would the effect be if I tried those tail blades, being 11mm longer?

It would simply give you more tail authority...just make sure that the vertical fin is long enough to prevent the tail blades from striking the ground... i.e. - you currently have more than 11mm of ground clearance on your tail rotor disk.
