Post subject: Main rotor blade size 		Quote 
I believe my Walkera 60 came with 290mm blades. I picked up a pair of T-Rex blades which were 325mm. This was the smallest size they had in stock. I ASSuMEd that the extra 35mm on each blade would make little difference. Well, I cannot get to tail under control with these blades. Is my setup wrong or is this because of the extra "bite" from these blades. My guess is they create more torque than my tail blades can counter? I order 290mm blades which should be arriving soon. Admittedly, the blades aren't the only thing I've changed. I put on a new tail boom, new ESC, new motor and new tail servo. Personally, I'm betting that 325mm is just too much(wo increasing the size of the tail blades?).
