Hi

My Tri has a 32.5" length from tip to hub centre. My blades are PV50 
Arplast and I've had no problem at all since I replaced the standard 
bungee with the multiple loop set up. The advantage I see with this 
set-up is that if you find it too soft then just add another loop - a 15 
minute job.   I fly from very short bumpy field.
