| Ronen,
I think you should at least get some decent tail blades with the kit. Most people opt for the NHP 110mm tail blades. I don't think I've ever seen a CS with the plastic tail blades on it...unless it was a JR team pilot trying to prove a point.
Since this is suppose to be "The machine Curtis flies", it seems ridiculous to put two sets of paddles in it. I think they leave the paddles out and drop the price a little.
Which paddle Curtis flies depends on what day of the week it is. I've seen his CS with the stock light paddles (with the leading edge rounded drastically), KSJ heavy carbon paddles and Miniature Aircraft old original razor paddles (no longer available), which are the ones he started with. He flew the MA paddles in Muncie and has used them on and off for years.
While the Vigor CS is a great model, but, I don't think anyone can argue that it is too expensive to repair. Horizon is aware of this and hopefully, will adjust the price of replacement parts downward.

I immediately ordered an aluminum tail pitch arm (from Heliproz or Rick's, I don't remember) to replace the plastic one in the kit.
