Anyone notice the "new" SP blades on the recently redone Gaui site?

Looks like the same old plastic ones to me.

Scale models?? Come on Gaui, fix the products you already have before you make more. Please.

I think they are the plastic blades but did you notice they have what looks like a brass reinforcement in the hole for the screw. I just noticed that these are listed in the back of both of my manuals. You must have some influence Buzz. Just a couple of weeks ago you urged Gaui to update their web site and they did.

Another thing i have spotted is the other tail fins, the type A & B. They are listed as CF but i'm convinced they are GF as they bend easily and stay bent! Perhaps it is CF, just not as high quality as the main airframe but i still think its GF and we are being palmed off.

Not to take away from your sentiments, Buzz because I agree with you but, I am impressed with the progress I've seen in their new website. It is 200% better than the last. It's actually informative! Showing what parts fit with what and so on. And, from what changes I had noticed in the old site, it appeared the the SD was going away!
I bought a bag of gears and such because currently, I suck. And I was thinking that maybe parts were going to become more scarce. On the old website there was no Instruction Manual, no more Ad, no more reference to it at all. I feel a LOT better about having bought the SD now.

Now back on topic, What is "SP" supposed to mean? Super Plastic? Where's the CF? :(

I agree. It just took them 8 months or so to update the site. It is good to see the're alive.

If we see new see-saws, gryo mount and TT gears I'll be convinced they are reading HeliFreak. I'd love to take credit for the new website but I know better ;)

I've got a couple sets of broken gears I need to send to a couple fellow freaks ASAP that are going to try and make alternate gears for the TT.
