  • Raptor paddles on me trex 600

    Just to let you know i tried some raptor white paddles on my trex 600 today and it makes it much smoother to fly. I`m not flying 3d, just sport aeros, loops, rolls and flips but they do make a difference. I think ive tamed the beast

    Yeah the shape and weight of paddles can make a big difference.

    When I first got the Ely.Q Ultimate I was not used to how fast the cyclics are and I put some Raptor black paddles on it which tamed it quite a bit. Then eventually I put the stock Ely.Q ones back on and now I like them better.

      That's funny. I just put some TREX 600 paddles on my raptor 50 in lieu of the TT white ones in order to liven the ol' girl up a bit!

          Too right it can, I changed the paddles on my raptor 30 from the Black ones to the White ones so I could start to learn to roll it, Flew circuits no prob, was bringing it back tail-in made a correction as I normally did and before I knew it I had performed some kind of chaos type manouver completely unintentionally !!!

          Managed to recover it fortunately, I'm a bit more careful on input now.

              What has happened with my helis is that I have slowly gotten used to faster and faster response. The heli I learned on was a Raptor 30 with the original black paddles and when I got the Ely.Q Ultimate it felt pretty twitchy to me so the Raptor paddles calmed it down a bit. I have a Raptor 50 that is also completely stock everything and I had not flown it in a long time and took it out about a couple months ago and was surprised at how docile and sedate it feels now.

              On my Trex 450 I started out with the Align black paddles and no weights and it felt too twitchy so I put some weights on it and it felt much better but after a while I wanted faster cyclics so I put some KBDD paddles on it and really like the feel of it now. Just for comparison I tried the old paddles again without the weights and just didn't like the feel at all (probably due to leaving on the 10% expo I have for the KBDD paddles) it felt like I had added more expo or something, not as precise.
