I am looking for a little help on what to start with for main blades and fly bar paddles. I am a newbe to flying, i have been practicing on G4 sim. I am just finishing with the building of a 600n. So if anyone has some ideas please let me know, thanks jeff

I built mine last month and went with the radix 600's. I have maverik blades on my vigor and the radix seem more stiff. Not too bad on the wallet for $85 either. Unless youre not too confident in which case I would go with some cheap woodies but make sure your head speed is low.

For sport flying, the Mavrikk G4 carbon fiber blades are very economical. I'm on my second set and both sets were spot-on balance-wise right out of the package. They've also been tracking really well for me thus far: I haven't had to adjust tracking at all. One down side is that they are a bit on the heavy side (140g each). The best part is that they're only $55 per set.
As for paddles, I'm just using the stock Align ones. If your 600N didn't come with a 440mm flybar (mine did), that might be a worthwhile upgrade.

You can use the 600 wood blades but they are ment for low head speed and you got to make sure you epoxy the plastic grips on the blades...but you can use them...just make sure you dont use a high head speed
