    My dad bought me 5 tubes of shuttles (aeroplane) back to canada. The speed is 49 and I don't know it its suitable. Right not its sitting in my room and feeding off dust. What should I do? Will the shuttle fly faster or slower? Whats the difference between the speeds?

    Asia shuttle weight

    This is the weight of the shuttle....4.9grams 5.0grams 5.1grams 49 corresponds to 76 and 50 to 77 and 51 to 78....If its old then it is going to need some humidity to bring it back to proper weight....try one first to see how it flies but be careful because the feathers will most likely be brittle...:)

    Here in Toronto, the normal speed of feather birds used is 78, which would be the same as 51. Speed 77 which is same as 50 is sometimes also acceptable. However, I think that 49 (76) would be way too slow. Well just give it a try.
