Paddle... witch size ???

[mplourde]

Hi,

What is the effect on a heli when the paddles are bigger or smaller???

What is a good size paddles for a .50 heli?


Example, on V-blades, you can order 80 to 95 mm paddles... Witch size is best for .50?

To have more quik response, must have smaller or bigger paddles???

Thanks for you help!!!

Thanks for you help again...

There are more factors involved than just size. Weight plays a big part as well as air foil. I just flew the Century 17.5 gram paddles on my pmax the other day and they are really really big, but they were the quickest things I have ever flown. So have to read up and see waht others say.

Talk at the field I am hearing is that the new 100mm V's are the ticket on a 90 sized machine for a fast setup. I run the 95's and they are plenty fast enough for me.

On the 50, I would say to try the 90's, I know the 85's work well.

OK thanks! For the instance, I have 95mm on my Falcon. I think it is a little bit big for my bird. Maybe not! I have quick response but not like I would like. I think it's not the paddle my problem but Rotor RPM and the Bell mixer is not too agressive...

I will put alum bell mixer of the Predator on that to see de diff... Thanks a lot guys... :wink:
