J-M, those paddle weights are actually E-Flight? All things being equal, they had to at the very least absorb the tooling cost for that look. I guess there will always be a market for anomalies (I learned to spell that yesterday) like that but . . . why? Looking at the 'paddle' there's not much aero surface to it. It's sort of pudgy to be a control surface so I'm thinking that it's neutered and will have only aesthetic value.
I just got it, didn't I? There's been a ton of money spent for a unique look and there ya go - a gizmo! It's not bling, but it is certainly a Farkle!

Like Dave said, Ya don't use paddles on coaxial helicopters. But there is a side of me that wonders; "What if . . .?" I'm just sayin, ya know?
