JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Voyager 50 Uncontrolable in F F Flight

Hi
My Voyager 50 is uncontrolable in fast forward flight. It pitches down and up!!
I have replaced the standard paddles and flybar with K&S paddles and Raptor Flybar. It loops and rolls better flips are ok. But I have nearly stoved it in to the ground about 4 times and it will pitch up and stop dead in its tracks.
I also have flybar weights on, good or bad?

Help, I like this Heli and I want to fix it.

the paddles

It is your paddles they are real bad in forward flight.Real bad !!!!! I had these also on mine for 1-2 flights. I got a pair of scheadu hirobo paddles ! they are fantastic responsive and smooooth in fast real fast forward even in the wind. the cyclic is also fast. You can also remove weight if you want hot hot 3d without removing the paddles. Then pop them back in on a windy day. They are the best !

The second choice is miniature air 3d paddles 3mm They are also good. I prefer the sceadus. they are like 18 bucks bet worth every penny for sure. Do a search you will see many threads on voyager 50 owners loving them !

Paddles

beavis1 is correct. I've found post in RR where they say you can cut about 3/16 off the front of the K&S and then sand them round. I tried it on my Ventures and works great. No more pitching up on FFF. Also make sure your paddles are straight, even and level.

front

Yea front holes sand the front edge and they are still going to suck unfortunatly. Give it a shot its free but if they even fly semi ok with no wind just wait they will really twitch in pitch in the wind. Been there done that my friend !!

Now for 3d no forward fast flight they work. But the others will work with ff and 3d

Sceadu paddles work great with the Voyager as well. Nice flips and great forward flight

Thats what I have on my ergo 50 and voyager and raptor they just rock. I pull the brass when I want to 3d hard . They solve the paddle switching need for good as they do it all !!!
