Align paddles/blades etc in E325 ??

I was wondering if I can mount Align 450 blades, flybar paddles and tail blades to my new E325.

Was thinking to have following blades:

I have seen on many forums that people do talk mixing align & tt parts but I never seen any parts list that fits directly. Some even say that you can mix align & tt head?

How about flybar? is it same size with Align Trex 450? :shock:

Any help is appreciated...

The main blades your link points to work well on the Mini Titan.

For the tail rotor blades look for a blade with the same approximate dimensions. Most tail blades are listed on the net by their length in mm. My MT is not with me right now, but I believe the tail blades are 58 ~ 60mm long. These http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=117_121_499&products_id=5162 work good on my MT.

I have not messed with aftermarket paddles so I cannot be of much help with them.

A paddle is a paddle, and a blade is a blade.

No worries. If you can get it to stick on the flybar, and it's flat, and lined up with the flybar, cage, you're good to go. Weights and surface areas change, so it's less of a "will it work", and more of a "will I be happy with the results".

I run the TT SE paddles, and green K&B tail blades, and am currently running the Align 3K carbons.

These, for me, all work great. I'm running the Align blades on the Kasama head, but for the plastic blade grips you will need to purchase the TT grip spacers or make some spacers out of an old credit card. I believe you need a 1mm on the top and a 1mm on the bottom with the plastic grips.

Checking a stock Trex Se V2 flybar against a MT flybar, the Trex flybar is about 4-6mm longer, and they appear to be the same diameter, so the paddles will work.

Great, thank you for both of you. Now I trust to order some Align blades and paddles without seeing them first. :thumbup:

I was thinking also that you can easily mix them, but i wasn't sure about flybar thickness and size of the mounting screws.

I prefer CF blades and an economical good CF blade set:

It's a bit more than the one you selected but I love them..

I use plastic spacers such as:

$1.59 is worth it! :-)

Anyway that's one of my preferences.

Another good one (more expensive) are the SAB 325mm Really place the E-325 on rails..

Happy flying.
