Default Alternate tail blades

I was having horrendous tail vibration problems with my Mars and I finally isolated the problem - the tail blades are WAAAY out of balance. I have several other tail blades (Align C/F, Mini-Titan) I can mount but I'm unsure how they will hold-up to the high RPMs).

What other brand of tail blades have you successfully used on your Mars heli?

hmm thats strange ive never had problems with the mars tail blades, em well you can try taping it although ive never tried that on tail blades before, id stay away from another brand of blades simply because of the unique size and tail that the mars has

(also it wouldnt hurt to take another look at your gyro/servo combo)

My gyro/servo combo won't change the weight of the tail blades. As I said previously, the blades are way out-of-balance - they are PHYSICALLY different in weight. This results in serious vibrations in the tail. I take the tail blades off and all vibrations disappear.

I'm tired of ordering over-priced parts for a dying brand, so I'm looking for an alternate brand of tail blades.
