I few in gusty conditions yesterday and found the standard Miniature palddles to be more stable in hover and FFF. Just like the cheap plastic tail blades, the plastic paddles are the best. The heli flew at least 15mph faster and the roll rate was nearly double.

I believe that the MA flex start was designed for 60 size engines and as such you can go thru bearings, there are careful procedures to maintain the life of the flex starter - however i have just used a hex start with no problems - alot cheaper and alot more robust.................
