What aftermarket paddles are there out there for 3D flight on the L14?

Hmm, this should be interesting.
I found that I had a pair of V-Paddles 90mm laying around, so I used them with the new 4mm upgrade and my modified 480mm flybar (SUS Raptor 60/90 500mm) that I shortened a bit.
V-Paddles are a few grams heavier then stock paddles, therefor it might be perfect with the 480mm flybar.
It will be an interesting flight tomorrow :!: :?:

Flight report:
Well, Slower cyclic then stock, just a tad, but still, I should have keept the whole 500mm length of the flybar.
Other then that, it flied great, felt more stable overall.

Mel,
I have the 4mm upgrade and using the MAH 115/4mm paddles with the 450mm flybar. This setup I really like. Each paddle weights about 16g (almost the same as the stock 3d paddles). The cyclic is crisp and fast and the forward/backward/inverted hi-speed tracks like it's on rails. The only down side I had was getting over the price of the paddles about $80us. I'm gonna try the v-paddles 3mm on my L103d to see how that goes. I'm changing over all of the logo paddles if I can because I am tired of changing the 3d paddle covering.
