Why dont you just measure it?

Grab a small piece of paper and hold it on top of the end of a stock blade. Line up the main and tail blades. Bend the main down a little bit to close the gap, and then slide that piece of paper out until just before it touches the tail blade. Tape the paper down right there. Now measure the full length of the main blade plus the paper sticking out. That total length is the max you can go.

Regular plastics are $10... I wouldnt cut them...

I'd go back to x2 spec carbons ($9) if I removed the stretch...

I'll decide after flying stock since the stretch was awesome
