tail blade dia. does it make a differance?
 
i was wondering.....does the diameter of a tail blade dramatically effect the ability of the tail to hold well....
for instance.........will my raptor 50's tail hold or respond noticibly better with a 92-95mm dia tail blade as a opposed to the stock 85mm

Yes it will but watch for blade clearance, both with the main blades and the ground.

The stock raptors will run 92, the titans will run 95 w/o hitting anything though I'd run 92 even on the titan for ground clearance.

Good carbon blades are stiffer than stock blades in addition to the larger rotor disk so they do perform better.
