3D with Raptor 30

[Kenji]

Hey guys I need a little advise. what dampners do I need for 3D flight and should I be using the green paddles as well. I don't get to crazy with 3D, just a flip and maybe inverted hover thats it nothing to fancy. Thanks for your help

All stock will do.

Laurens has it about right, all stock is fine for loops, rolls and the like. You will find that the R30 will flip much better with lighter paddles. You may want to start with the white paddles, but you will want green paddles before long. As you gain confidence and your maneuvers become more 3D you may want to stiffen up the dampeners, but by that time you will want a 50.

Couldnt have said it better.......best upgrade would be a case of fuel :D

Thanks guys for the feed back. I already 3d my zoom kinda hard. With cost factor of the zoom being that of the raptor, why not go with bigger one. I was looking to just start out easy but before I know it I will be giving full thottle I just no it. This v2 Raptor looks like such a nice machine. I did put digital servos and a 401 w/ servo in the thing. Should be a solid machine. Thanks again.

laurens you got it right.
but a high head speed i would not do because of engine boging.
i was flying at first with 1800 rpms on the rotor but a full pitch pull out would bog out the engine. so the rpms got real low.
now i fly 1600 mild starters 3d and no bogging.
o and lighter padels are a super great thing for the r30 so not all stock 100%
(yea its my first post but bin flying longer than laurens, but he is doing good)

Head speed has nothing to do with bogging the engine. If the engine is bogging, the throttle curve is not set up correctly, there is too much pitch in the blades for the engine to turn. Or the mixture on the engine is off.
If you bog the engine with full pitch climb outs at 1800 rpm. It will bog the engine at 1600 rpm on the head and full pitch climb outs.
The question is what did you change so it would not bog at the 1600 rpm headspeed?

the reason for the engine boging in at my setup is that its got noting left at 1800 rpms.
got a gov curve setup so i know its the extra trotlle the gov got left at 1600 rpm that keeps the engine from boging.
A R30 has littel power to spare.
cant wait till i get my r50 to fly
