Wick246,

The weight isn't a significant factor, unless your doing some heavy aerobatics or 3D. Hovering and light aerobatics is fine, actually the added weight helps, to some degree, with stablility.

There are two versions out there, V2 and V3, only Gary at 'super-skids.com' has V3. Helidirect carries V2. The V3 is $30, shipping included. V2 is less expensive. There's always a however, the V3 has a biggier opening for larger batteries that, the V2 can't handle, also, the V3 sits the heli about a 1/4 or so higher than the V2.

See Picture: V2 on left, V3 on right.

Just more decisions to make,

Is the weight of the super skids a significant factor? That set up has everything I'm looking for - cf fins, tail support bead and looks like a little higher stance to get the tail rotor out of the carpet.
