500 Trex 500 Tail Blades

[Derek]

I've recently heard that the black tail rotor blades that I have on my 500 aren't as easy to be seen as, lets say, red or yellow. Does anyone here have a preference on a color that works well for them? Maybe to help with orientation.

I only have one thing to say about this....

STOP LOOKING AT THE TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be flying it while looking at the canopy.

But, I prefer white. didn't like the yellow or orange on the 600. I like factory Align white CF blades.

ok, Tony! Thanks!

(walks away with head down and tail between legs) lol

 

[Tony]

Holy crap, you have a tail?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

 

[Derek]

....on some days...yes, lol.

I think this falls under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy lmao.

 

[Derek]

I can live with that, lol

Whats wrong with looking at a bit of tail
I have yellow on my warp, very easy to see. I had white on my old 500.
Even if you are not looking at the tail, it does help to be able to see it in your peripheral vision.

I like my KBDD orange blades ... help me see the orientation when I cant see the canopy ... I just give the tail a tweak left and right to get my bearings! ..... I watch tail all the time ... and get slapped for it all the time .... what can i say ... I am a slow learner LMAO

I think, not sure but I think DADT was lifted. Great now I have to get in touch with my sensitive side.
