Carbon Blades did not fit my rotor head???

I live outside US, Im building a TT90SE, I ordered a set of carbon blades but they are maybe 2mm wider and did not fit on the rotor head, is it possible to sand them or something.

Thanks

ooooh... Thats a lot of money to have some thing not fit. Can you exchange them for the right part? You might be able to sand them, but you would have to sand them both the same so not to throw off the balance.

I dont know if that is the right answer though. I would try to get the part that fits first.

I wouldnt sand them at all....its not a good idea because they are that thickness for a reason....the loads on blade roots are quite high....some people say that the loads at the roots for a 30 size nitro heli (example) can be as high as 100 kgs....so thats very high.

Look for the right blades.
