First replacement parts on Trex-600

After a few more flights today, I noticed that the tail blades on my 600 are now busted. Those were the original tail blades that came with my NSP kit, so it was Align CF tail blade, btu because of the rocky ground where I fly, the heli sometimes lifts some tiny rocks while spooling up and I think I also might have accidently touched the tail blades down while trying some autos, so the tip of one of the tail blades is now split open. CF is a great material, but not really resistant.


Also, after practicing some moderate high autos, I noticed that I lost the two back landing skid rubber grommets.

So this afternoon, I went to my LHS ready to order some tail blades and skid grommets and to my great pleasure, they had it all in stock!

So I just installed some brand new K&B neon yellow tail blades and I replaced the missing skid nuts. the tail blade they had were only 84mm instead of the original 95mm, but it said fits any 30-50 nitro heli, so I'll give it a try. Anyway, they were pretty cheap and I though that plastic tail blades would probably last longer than CF in my flying grounds.

One more thing that begins to worry me a little is that a few flights back, the main blades hit smoething pretty hard (probably a little rock) while the heli was on the ground. I heard a weird noise... Since then , this is a little crack on the edge of one of my main CF blades. I didnt worry at all at first and I flew several flights with this crack since then, but I'm just scared that this crak can grow bigger with time. I'll try to see if it can be repaired, I heard of some epoxy blade reparations for minor cracks, because I'm not really in the mood to spend another 100$ on some new main blades only because of this minor crack, but I also want to be sure it's ok to continue to fly it like that...
