After some help/advice re the fliprate of my IMZ.
I was flying today (albeit in reasonably high wind) and was egged on to demo my new found move - the death spiral. Previously I have only done it with my Sceadu (yesterday !) and managed about three full turns before I bottled it. Today from a similar height with my IMZ, I just about got one and a half turns. Could this have been the wind ?

I also tried some flips - again which I only learnt yesterday. With the Sceadu it went straight over and remained pretty stationery. With the Voyager it was so much slower going around, and it was difficult to keep it anywhere near the original position. Wind again ?

Or perhaps it is the paddles ? I am running the set-up in the book, and if I dial in any more cyclic I will get binding at the extremes.

Anyone got any suggestions. I have noted that a number of people have changed their paddles to Sceadu paddles - does this apply to the IMZ too, which uses different paddles to the regular Voyager ?

Any help gratefully received

I put Sceadu paddles on mine which really helped, but probably the biggest help was removing the plastic flybar limiter from under the flybar rocker.
Mine rolls/flips fast now!

Mine is the IMZ which has the MC50 head

I think you may be talking about the regular Voyager head. Mine has no plastic inserts - it is the MC50 head. Also the paddles are different to the standard Voyager paddles
