I am looking at some after market tail blades, to help with orientaion, found Fusano, KBDD in bright colors, which are better for a newb, also whats the difference in flight characteristics in the different lenghts.

Thanks Jet

Longer tail blade = more surface area = more thrust = better tail authority and speed. At the same time: More mass = more inertia to overcome = more inherent power loss to spin them fast.

So, the tail should respond better with longer blades, but you might use more power to spin them which means a shorter flight time. But what that equates to in flight time or performance is anyone's guess.

I bought a set of yellow Fusuno blades and green tail fins when I bought my Canopy from them. Can't honestly say they make a damn bit of difference unless you hold the heli with the blades facing you and into the sun. If the heli is between you and the sun so that you are viewing the dark or shadow side of the heli, they don't help a damn bit. But when they light up, it's like a big bright glowing neon disk.

All im really looking for is better visability for orientation, and something close to stock,dont want to have to adjust to much, it flies fine the way it is but would like to be able to see it better, I am a rookie although I can fly but want to reduce my chashes.
