"KBDD paddles" anyone used them?

[barney]

If they are indeed the K&B's Paddles in disguise they can be quite Pitchy in FFF or in a blow. To help this we used to round off the leading edge of the paddles.

Been around a long time if it is. Might just have to re-visit these as the quality of equipment has improved no end, Pitch angles have increased, Headspeeds and the way we fly is totally different.

What weight are they Tom?

They are 17.5g per paddle. It was really windy here last night so I made a few very fast passes into wind and with the wind. I also did some passes crosswind. Iv'e gotta say, into wind I was expecting them to dip or climb but they tracked great. I kept nudging the nose up or down to see If I could get them to pitch but nothing scary showed up

Here is another pic of the paddles, maybe you can see if they are rebranded K&S

I've got black K&S paddles on my Vibe 90. They certainly look like the same shape. I can try and get a pic later tonight.

K&S



KBDD

That's them. I think the purple K&S ones are the light 3D version and the black ones are a bit heavier although still exactly the same shape and profile.

[Tom Burgess]

So, they are different shape then, very similar though. Im tempted to try a set on my Aurora too now

Yes sorry my 'Bad' as the yanks say, K&S not K&B, LOL.

Very similiar but a little different then. Might order a set up for the Trex 600 as I've stripped the screws on the thin 12g carbons twice now..The Align 16g white carbons have a thicker profile. My thoughts are the profile affects them more than the weight with only a 4g difference. So may give these a go as they look to be thin like the K&S and Align 12g's

[Tom Burgess]

Look forward to hearing what you make of them
