Welcome Graham!
(Update your bio-LOC so that we know where you're from.)
You are just about out of luck finding those types of blades for your Concept. They stopped making them several years ago and the only place that you may be able to find them is on eBay. I believe the original 515mm Concept blades were foam so it would be better to get blades that are wood and 525mm may be as small as the come. Try Century Helicopters as Tower no longer stocks anything close to that made of wood.
If the blades that you have found are too large for the Concept DX head then you can upgrade the main rotor head to the head used on the later Concept models (SR, SR-T's) since most of the parts were interchangeable. You can also obtain complete main rotor heads on eBay which seems to be the source for discontinued Kyosho parts these days.
Good Luck.

Century sells 515mm woodblades but they are to wide for the DX blades grips. As Wayne stated it would be best to upgrade to a SX head.
The problem is once you start upgrading this you will see that you need to upgrade that and it becomes a money sucking pit.
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy
all that ACME crap,
why didn't he just buy dinner? |
