Hi, I have a stock raptor 30 fin that has been cut to look like a 3d fin. My concern is, it is flexible and im concerned if it will affect forward flight at all. Has any one done this mod?
Here is some pics.

Regards

Wow, 34 views and counting... and no reply. Must of been a stupid question I guess

I'v seen pics of this fin mod and decided to make one myself. I was just wondering if it was ok in forward flight due to it being flexible.

Cheers!

Nope..won't change how the machine flys. May vibrate though being flexible and thinned out. Again it will not hurt, just make it look as if the machine is poorly balanced if it does.

Thanks again Colin. I will let you know how it turns out when I go up again. I guess your getting ready for the upcoming Atlantic Funfly in July. Wish I could be there to meet all you guys. Maybe next year

Cheers!!
