Hi

Does anyone has used different paddles than stocks on beam?
I'm thinking of putting TT 3g paddles or Gorilla (I can't find them :x)...

Thanks

Beam

I'm using Gorilla paddles on mine, without weights they area about 4 grams I believe.
I like them, but then I liked the standard Beam paddles as well the few times that I flew them. Most obvious difference is the color: the Gorillas show op really nice in addition to the rotor disk.

Did you noticed much faster cyclic ? I don't rly know if this mod is worth it...

eDeK · 05-23-2009, 02:55 PM

OK,so 2nd question

Anyone uses aftermarket dampers? Which ones?

marfdaman · 05-23-2009, 03:26 PM

Oops, forgot to reply

Cyclic was or felt pretty much the same as with the Beam paddles, but I really didn't fly those long enough to be sure. I'm still using the Beam dampers.

i really cant see how you can tell the difference between differentt paddle brands other than colors. the stock Beam paddles are nice and light plus there nice and strong, they have a great full semetrical air foil section as well. whats wrong with them ?

I ran the Outrage programmable paddles for a while. They are pretty nice, but after I killed on in a crash I just put back on the Beam paddles and have not found the need to put back on anything else.

the stock ones work alright but they can be made thinner and narrower. some people want faster cyclic. what's wrong with upgrading? you seem to be fixated on using only beam this and that as if you were heavily involved in the development of it or something.

I got the Outrage G5 paddles and put them on today, but they didn't come with any instructions as to what the difference between the fore and aft flybar holes were for. Which one gives you faster cyclic performance and which is stabler?

I have outrage t-rex 250 paddles. I assume they're of the same basic layout. One hole is drilled simply for reducing weight. the other is for the flybar. Fit whatever one is closest to the center of mass of the paddle onto the flybar...otherwise the hole that best fits the flybar.
