RE: raptor paddles
After writing off my Titan my buddy put my "shrek" paddles on his concept 46 and he had more movement and control with rolls and loops and flips....in general it made the heli more responsive! Before it would screw out of a roll cause it would loose head speed!
FOr a beginner stick with the standard black paddles....go green or "shrek" when you start chucking it around!
