Default Best place to order Gorilla gears

Being new to this, are these worthwhile and where should I order? I can see that I am coming down kinda hard when trying to hover.

Thanks for the help. While I'm at, should I upgrade my tail fins to the carbon fiber? I just broke that as well?
Thanks

I was usig the Align yellow plastic blades during my learning phase because they were durable. I more recently switched to using the Algin CF tail blades (about $11) and have been very happy with them.

Thanks. I was looking at those today. Are they as durable as the white plastic ones? They sure look better. Since I'm new at this I need strength. Been out 3 times and damage each time.Thanks

I started with the yellow plastic tail blades, then tried the black carbon "batman" blades (HS1208), but I found them to be too brittle. I bumped my tail on the ground once, and I checked the tail blades out and they appeared fine. There were no cracks or chips in them. On the next flight, one of the tail rotor blades cracked off and whizzed past my head! I went back to the yellow plastic blades until I ordered a set of the actual carbon fiber type. The HS1208 batman blades work extremely well, but without having anything fibrous in them, I'm leery of them sheering off like before.
