Here are just a few to get you started:

Century Rotortech (out of stock 2008-01-11, but 300 sets reportedly expected soon)
Heliproz Align (in stock at time of posting)
ReadyHeli Align and Rotortech (both out of stock at time of posting)

I've also ordered Funkey 4301c 430mm CF from the UK. Funkey is apparently the manufacturer of the Rotortech blades for Century. The Funkeys are ~$40 a set, have a different paint scheme but the same shape. I'll let you know how they work out.

I was a little suprised at my SAB 430mms - I need to add tape (~.2g) to get them to balance perfectly using my Rotorpro balancer.

Would they be any good for a n00b, or what would you recommend?
They look so (beep) cool with the yellow canopy

Most definitely a MHD (Must Have Device)

Hell yeah

Mine do have align written on them too, you just cant see it in the pictures.
They came with the align tracking tape and 4 washers.
Like mentioned earlier, they look like the same washers that most people got in the kits.
Maybe the kits with no blades have no washers

I was going to go down to hobbyhut for some, but earlier in the week they were out.
It does look like 2 pairs are there right now.....
Wont be for long, I'm sure.

Torkboy, if you need washers let me know, I can snail mail my extras to ya.

Nope - the kits without blades do come with washers (and the blade holders) - mine did.

The Rotortechs (not the Align ones) come with washers, but don't come with tracking tape like the Align branded ones do.
