Bolly made them in more than one size.They where sold by Randy Smith and also Eric Rule of R.S.M. Distribution.The question is do they still have any stock now that Bolly isn't doing them anymore.

Eric does not have anymore of them. I'm not sure about Randy.

Maybe if you do a search you can see how Randy Powell made his own.  Or just get in touch with him as he posts on here quite often.

Mejzlik Modellbau also sells carbon gear. I have a set and they are beautifully made, like his 3-blade props of which I also have several. Czech Republic, I think. Gear are about $38.

Yea, I make my own. Not that tough (at least that's what Howard Rush told me).
