Walkera blades

[Varc]

Hello there. I'm enjoying the heck out of my CB180Q Airwolf. But I need some blades. I'm wondering if there is a set of pure white blades that will work on my bird? Reason being is I want to paint them black on bottom, white on top, and yellow tip's just like the real Wolf.
Just to give my bird extra realism.
Plus, I freaking hate the three-bladed tail rotor! It works great and flies great, but they look wrong! Any suggestions for a two-bladed tail rotor that will work just as well?
We tried a smaller one earlier when my bird arrived broken, and it didn't have any authority whatsoever. So, need something that's 2-bladed that will work. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I've not seen any solid white ones. If it where me I'd just get me some wet/dry sandpaper scuff up the blades a little and repaint like I wanted, you should be fine doing it that way. I've done blades this way and all worked out fine for me.

Thank's, I'll try that after I get an extra set. Don't want to risk ruining a good pair.

What grit sandpaper do you recommend?

[Scream And Fly]

600 grit will work good. Keep in mind that almost any paint will crack and flake off regardless since the blades flex so much. You'll need paint with plasticizers in it.

I've had good luck with the Krylon Fusion for plastics. You should be able to pick it up just about any where. I get mine at Wally World..

Thank's, all I need is flat-black and yellow.

Second question. Can I clip the blades? Should be a little more square at the tips than they currently are. What will clipping do to it's performance?

On my 4g3 when I clipped the blade tips on it it seemed to make it a little more stable in a hover. I figure it will do the same in your case but even if it doesn't I don't figure it will hurt you as long as you don't get carried away..

I'm looking at my blades right now and there not that, eh, what's the word, un-square?
But looking at my smaller helicopter, it's blades are much more square at the tips. I just don't know how the yellow tips will look the way it's shaped now.

no matter the shape of the tip it's going to be a yellow ring at the end of the plate.
