Default 550mm night blades, where o' where art though?

Anyone know why its hard to find 550mm night blades that are in stock? Trying to fly my 550X at night and I cant find night blades without spending $100-$200

Unfortunately, night blades aren't cheap regardless of brand, etc. That being said, you could always purchase some less expensive blades and install the Perfect Regulators kit ($60).

Flying-hobby has them, but I'm not aware of their shipping charges.

If your going to give them a call, let us know how that goes. They have a note on the blades I was looking at saying they can't ship to the USA. I have been looking hard also, but no luck.

I guess I didn't see the note. Its a shame that having a variety of available night blades is difficult.

Agreed, I guess the build you own option is the way to go. Good luck

I just ordered these blades along with 92mm tails, I bit the bullet and paid the $20 shipping charge. I didn't see any notes on not delivering to USA, I'll let you guys know how it turns out (fingers crossed)

Yes, I just looked at the 530's and they do not say can't ship to USA but the 430's do.

I know dude I'm just a cheapo, I don't submit orders on my Helidirect.com account until my cart has at least $100 so I can get free shipping

by the way, I just got confirmation from flying-hobby on the blades

Just got home from work and I couldn't resist, didn't want to wake up neighbors so I just did a quick spool-up, plus I want to do a test flight with these blades in daylight before I start flying at night, different blades different characteristics.
