Using mostly after market part to rebuild

[vanguy]

I had another crash of my PRO and more and more I'm using Tarot or other after market parts to replace the damaged parts. I bought some aftermarket main and feather shafts from helidirect.com, tail boom, most of my tail is make up of Tarot parts, and no longer using Align's CF blade. Find some CF blades on helidirect.com at half the price and can't tell the difference. Interesting to see how many people are not using Align parts in their rebuild.

I would only trust the helidirect generic main shafts and feathering shafts and other generic parts from helidirect. I would be hesitant to use tarot parts when your not really saving that much, plus the cost of shipping... I've used sonix hyperion knock-off blades and they don't give as much pop but its not really to noticeable and they are like 1/2 the price. I like them! But the align 325D blades are still the best I have tried.

Oh I wouldn't worry about Tarot! Thats great stuff for sure! I have been using their stuff on my 500.. lots of it.. and it's just as nice as Align. Align isn't that great themselves sometimes.

I shop here http://www.hk-parts.com/store/

Used their hardware set on my 450 Pro.. and it is BETTER than the align stuff... I don't strip the screws anymore.

Using these blades, they are CF and pretty cheap.

I use those... and I love them!....

BUT.. I've 'heard' (not sure) those are seconds if you get them from Xheli?

I order them from Helidirect... same blades... $14.... but I know they are good ones and a US hobby store benefits too..

Their website is very confusing... do they sell the 3D blades in 425mm or larger do you know?

I see. Well.. I was thinking more of the white "3D" brand... I think Helidirect has them beat for larger blades.. they sell the "3D Pro" ones in 425mm for $21 and 550mm for $40

[UBHSTRY]

Ah, well, I only have the 450's Someday have a big one.

Thanks for all of your supports.

We have been testing the new blades and they are very good, better than the 3d PRO. Once we finish all our testing we will start selling it in about 2 weeks.

price as low as 11.9usd for 325mm CF, 18usd for 430mm CF and 31.8usd for 600mm CF.

These are lighter and track better than the 3D pro version.

Keep an eye on our website.
