I assume that you are looking for Gyro mounting tape as in double sided foam tape? I also assume that you need it for mounting the Gyro on a 450 class Heli. Use 2 layers of black/grey double sided tape that is used by automobile deco shops. If you REALLY want to add some branded 'bling'  :giggle: use the 3M tape. Works fine. Trust me.

Also, www.RcBazaar.com is the trusted site for all 450 heli accessories. Have you checked their inventory for blades?

Regards.

The CF blades i have used (purchased from HK) are very strong, and have survived mild crashes

Which CF blades have you used?

I dont know , i got it from Shannon, the blades were broken from the root holder. It is kind of strange that the name carbon fiber but actually there was wood ply inside. It that normal raja_mastana..

no, carbon fiber blades are not that way.
Buy the blades from HK, its good stuff.
For e.g.

yes one blade had a notch in the end near the blade tip leading edge but tht wont cause it to break unless blades hit the ground really bad ....and for some reason though the blades are carbon fiber they are very flexible ..yes the blades are from rcbazaar  ...get blades from hobbyking in bulk if ur learning only buy glassfiber then when u get really good switch to carbon fiber ...none of the blades broke while doing ticktocks but i dont like the flex in them  :banghead: avesh get blades  from hobbyking in bulk save u both the ways n i guess difference is just 1$ between glassfiber and carbon fiber on hk .....the 3dpro 335 mm blades are good and extra 10mm provide good stability  :thumbsup:

thanks to shannon and raja_mastana , basically i can easily hover 450 and a bit of forward flights. Considering my skills i would stick to fiber ones as my heli RPM is not more than > 2900 and 3d is in my dreams. The property of carbon fiber make is brittle while the fiber one can withstand a lot more. I remember when i had a severe crash which concluded my fly bar mixing arms, rotor head, spindle but thou my fiber blades were hardly penalize. Thanks for your concern , i'll definatley switch to CF.. :)

+1 on Shannon and raja...

HK stuff will do fine...those turnigy carbon blades are good and can withstand few crashes if its not a direct blade strike on the ground
