Default RE: Will changing paddle angle affect windy day performance?


ORIGINAL: jester_s1]
So are there any helpful people with suggestions on how to make an entry level 450 handle the wind a little better?
Make it heavier maybe? I dunno as Im still pretty much a n00b myself (my 3rd year in). Or, you could do what I did....build a 500. Its night and day difference as far as flying in the wind, and the crash cost isnt that much more than the 450.

If I knew then what I know now...Id of waited on buying a 450 till later. Id of started out on the mCPX and then went straight to a 500. Id say even 600, but crash cost for a 600 is considerably more than a 500.
