| Well, I started using "V" paddles on my SRII. I had previously posted my concern about sliding the stock weights inboard because of the small single 3 mm set screw. The first picture shows the stock setup the paddle weights about 47 gr. and the "keyed" weight an additional 9 gr. My first setup was the "V" paddle (about 22 gr.) with a un keyed weight from a SR (10 gr.). I was surprised to find that the handling was the same as stock. I then slid the weights all the way inboard and it quickened up the continuous pitch and role rate but the hover was unchanged. I then removed the SR weight an substituted a flybar collar (2.5 gr. with a 4 mm set screw) tight against the paddle and it fly's great. The only thing I notice is that in hover it is a little "nervous", not overly sensitive but sort of like the "dance" it would do at low rpm but much less amplitude and much more irregular. I posted because I am sure that my experience is applicable to most other machines
