| Hi Greg,
I've been flying the tempest fai head on 3 machines for quite some time. I really like its smoothness and precision. It is still responsive enough for 3d but it is super stable, especially in the wind. I think I had an advantage with it in the windy conditions at the xfc this yr. Here's a pic of my heli with the head http://runryder.com/helicopter/rrTV-Photo/funflies/XFC-2004/rr0028.jpg The pic shows the -5.5 delta setup and I use 4 - 70 durometer dampners with a thick shim against the outer dampner and a medium shim on the outside of the special camfered washer. I like the -5.5 delta because the link from the blade grip to the flybar mixing arm is a lot straighter than it is with -3.3. Hope this helps.
