    Default KBDD Tails

    ive just ordered some KBDD tails for my 700 and was just wondering if anybody else uses them and has any reports on how they fly?
    under half the price of the align 105 and even more so that the radix tails i was gonna get but thought i would go cheep this time and see also got em in bright yellow which should contrast well with the LE canopy

    Hey there

    I have used KBDD for a couple of years.

    They fly great but i only sport fly.

    The new Extreme KBDD tails are stiffer and higher performance.

    Great Blades

    I've been using the .50 size ones for a while and they are great. Seem every bit as good as carbon as far as I can tell!

    The blades are made of a special composite that is pretty stiff.

    The new ones are even stiffer.

    I also use these on both my T600 and T700 ~ There are great, just as good as carbon IMO. The only thing I noticed is they tend to be a little noisy in prio moves.

    They are also good off long grass ~ the blade seems to stand up to the beating much better than carbon tail blades.

    I also like the paddles but thats for another thread.

    I've used them on my 500 for about six months now. They do make quite a distinctive noise, they also seem to hold up well to long grass during take offs and landings.

    wow old thread i did not really like them on my 700 and certainly not on my velocity 90 although i do normally use them on my fusion 50 but at the FOD flyin they were not happy and the tail was not that great but that could be many things as i had just put the v-bar back in it so needs more tweeking

    i have been using the standard yellow kbdd tail blades on my 700 and they work just as good as the align ones ,I cant wait to try the "extreme" version.
