Just curious if all the kits have the bolts that are threaded the full length. I think 5 x 30. The manual shows a shouldered bolt but my kit didn't come with shouldered ones. Just curious if these are safe enough for the mains.

Generally I would not trust them as the blades will tend to chew through the threads over time and effectively weaken the bolts.

Raptor 90 bolts work fine, They are a full shank bolt and are about 5mm longer - You can use them as they are or trim 5mm or so off their threaded portion [use a Dremel cutoff wheel or similar] so not too much thread shows past the nyloc nut [only required if you are fussy...

Do not use the fully threaded bolts - they were packaged incorrectly! See here:

Does anyone have any idea when these bolts will be available. I also need for the tail blades. I am not going to fly mine until I have the correct bolts.

Also check the length guys.. the 30mm dont even reach the end of the nyloc... thats also asking for trouble.. just get on the net.. I sourced some M5x35 Shouldered 12.9HT bolts from Ebay.. Bargain at £2.19
