Need Opinion on New Flybar Paddles

[TCU 02xp]

I have a 600N that I fly V Blades with and a 600E that I fly radix blades. Both of these have the stock Align paddles and I was looking to upgrade one at a time, it doesn't really make a difference which one first. I have heard great things about the V paddles, Stubz (Radix Paddles) and I like the look of the square carbon fliber Align Paddles (http://www.readyheli.com/H60143_Carbon_Fiber_Flybar_Paddles_Repl_H60094_p/h60143.htm).

Can I get some pros and cons from these three compared to the stock align paddles and if you have any experience with more then one of the three I listed above. I do hard 3d if that helps. No piro flips yet but a lot of the other stuff. Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you have two birds why not put the Align paddles on one to see if you like them, I upgraded mine to the Align paddles and the 440 flybar and that made my T600N agile, I had to add some expo.

i was running stock paddles and a 440 flybar and felt no difference. (i dont run expo btw) so i flipped the grips (supposed to make it more responsive around center), it made it more responsive, but not as much as i like (again, still stock paddles). i've not got a set of CY Stubz i'm planning on putting on the grip flip'd, 440 flybar setup. i'll let ya know how i like it this weekend :)

Did your grtip flip happen before or after ya crashed lol just kidding good video invert:YeaBaby:

Try the Mikado Lightweight (3mm flybar version). They have more surface area and are considerably lighter than stock Align paddles. (No, I don't have numbers, you'll have to trust me.) I think they are like $8 so it's not a big investment to try them.

They give you absurdly fast cyclic response.

Has any one tryed the YB Super Stubz 3mm Paddles ,,

I´m using the align paddles, they were the litest ones I found, and my cyclic speed is amazing I´d say even faster than szabo´s. though these light wieght paddles may slow your head speed on tight manuovers.

the change of cyclic speed isn´t so big, but it goes faster for sure.

I´m happy with them, crack rolls are made easy as may of those sahky manouvers

I know that AJS is or at least was using the Align CF ones on at least one occasion because they're shown on the heli in his interview. The Super Stubz seem to be very popular too.

I fly them with a 440mm flybar. They are insane. I went from the stock flybar and stock paddles to these. The response is insane, and I have also done the grip flip. You can literally do rolls with little or no collective. At first I didn't like them but now that I have got used to them I love 'em. I have not flown the align paddles, have some on order, but I would like to see how they compare. They look just like the v paddles.

I'll agree with most of all this. but i wouldn't consider the response "insane".. i'd say it is fast. My avant FX w/ the prog. head and stock hirobo paddles is faster in response than my 600N w/ grip flip, 440 flbar an super stubz..

but the 600 doesn't bog as much w/ the super stubz and full cyclic as it did w/ the stock paddles.
