First off, put 4 solid flights on the Pantera today. Flies awesome! Solid hover, tracks well, and has great pop with the Hyper. Looking forward to really rippin it around this year!

Question: What paddles are you guys using on your Pantera? I'm looking for something a bit different from stock...I like what I hear about the V-Paddles, anyone tried these?

I had the V-paddles on my Pantera from the start and they're very smooth. I recently put the stock white paddles on just to try them; they're noticably quicker response but not quite as smooth, if that makes any sense. For my style of flying I'll probably go back to the V-paddles but the white ones are great and they're in your kit already which is a bonus.

I too started with the 4mm vPaddle...was very smooth...but not aggressive enough.

I moved back to the stock white paddle in the aft hole and never looked back...or elsewhere.

it really tied the room together

I'm using the stock white paddles in the aft hole on the Panteras. On my Tiger though, which is a 3mm flybar, I am using the Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 flybar and the white paddles. It's going to get the green paddles when I can grab a spare set.

Ah, thanks guys. I forgot about the aft hole in the stock paddles. I'll have to give that a shot later.

I will say one thing about the stock paddles, I wish they had a set screw to lock them on the flybar. Just a personal preference but I think it makes it much easier to deal with.

Agreed...they do slip.

I CA'd them a few times...then that stopped working(they'd been tapped out a few times to clear the old CA)...now 6-minute epoxy.

I typically build my flybar to last...until tiller-time!
