Have you tried these? I hear really good things about the new black lines.

Only problem is the SAB's are 12 mm thickness and aligns are 14mm so it wouldn't fit right in my blade grips

Is there a specified shim kit for this particular mod? Or is it a "wing it" type of deal?

I just use washers from the local hardware store.. bought a whole bunch of different sized and thicknesses long ago and I find uses for them Also if I remember my Goblin kits came with some.. here's a link to true blade shims for this purpose.

I've used both Edge 115's and Rail 116's on my E700. I liked the 115's the best. I could make the Rail 116 blow out 90 degrees on a move the Edge 115's wouldn't blow out on. I was also able to use a higher gain with the Edge 115's.

I've heard that edge blades are good but heard a lot of positive feed back about rail blades

I hear cyclone will be making tail blades shortly. If they're anything like their main blades they'll be amazing.

Tuning blades? Yes I've heard cyclone is I good too. I'd like to see rail blades made in 770+ mm

I've tried a bunch and like Rotortech the best.

I've got a pile of Radix, and have some Rail's that were Horribly balanced which turned me off of them. I probably got duds.

I'll be curious about what Cylone comes up with.

I have tried several brands now on my larger helis. In order of preference NSK came in first place. Rail, Radix, Rjx, and Edge all performed about the same. I have had both good and bad from each. The very worst tail blades ever have reliably been align and Sab. I use Kbdd's whenever I am going to fly off some nasty terrain. The use of RcTek's tri rotor tails cut all my remaining tail vibes down by a good 70% or more.
