What Paddles to get?

[traeside]

What Paddles would be good on the E-Smart 600? i like that the stock ones are light but i don't like the stickers. i want some fast paddles just in case i get the nerve up to flip it

I didn't like the stock paddles either. Not because of their performance, but the stickers just wouldn't stick!

I went with 3mm K&B paddles and have Zero complaints. The price is right, they are as tough as nails and they have Two mounting options. The hole towards the leading edge is for mild flight characteristics. The hole in the center alters the center of gravity to make the paddles behave more aggressively. They come in Black,Orange,Yellow and Green. They say they also come in Glow In The Dark as well, but I've never seen them listed anywhere. I got mine from Heli Direct for $12.50.

I use the stock paddles, and instead of the stickers, I used clear packing tape. Has held up great after many flights. Just be sure to clean the paddles well with alcohol before applying. The tape is clear and you can still see the holes in the paddles, which I like.

I looked at these thanks for the report. i will see if my LHS has them if not i will order from HD, they are so great! i ordered from them on Friday package at my door on Monday!!! if you need something fast they are the go to on line place.

Also where are you running your weights? i was going to move mine about half way in and see how much faster that makes it.
if i end up having to tape these up i do have some yellow and black caution style tape i could use.

I was using the flybar weights placed as far out as I could get them. I thought the heli was still a little twitchy though, but I'm not a 3D flyer.

I do not fly 3D either but i find it very stable and fairly quick but i about ready to try my first flip and i just want to make it as fast as i can so it more like the simulator. i have trouble flipping the slower helis.
