I hope you like the damper as much as I do… I would be most interested in hearing your thoughts once you have used it.

so far, unconnected and sitting in front of me both Fliss and I admire it! (she has 1st class honours degree in technology management and thinks it well put together) I will be trying it out tonight and later (1900 BST) on the Low Level Heaven server. I will let you know.

I felt that I had put the helicopter on like a real aircraft. It felt much better throughout but came into its own on transition to and from the hover. During the final 5 secs as the collective goes down, then up…, as the cyclic comes back then slightly forward and the rudder pedals coordinate to the right and then left, it actualy did. From 100kts to hover the nose stayed pointing the same way. It ‘felt’ like I was doing the right thing with the pedals. Previously I was behind the aircraft. Tonight I almost kept up with it. More work required to get ahead of it but I was asked to teach a newcomer some techniques tonight which he learnt to do. The gas strut works.
I began with the damper on 15. I reduced it to 10 which I liked. I will try five today @PaulRix

I just bought this kit for my old v2s. On assembling I ran into a problem.
The front hinge is a stack of three bits of plastic with identical outer dimensions, but different holes in each of them. One contains a ring of metal that fits the bearing on the moving part. So that is the top one. But now I have three bits (two plastic plates and a bearing) that I can’t figure out how they belong!
So I’m thinking the bit at 1 o clock is on top, then 10, 8 and 4 o clock last. But that doesn’t seem all that logical to me. And I can’t find instructions telling me how it should be.
I have googled for an answer, but there doesn’t seem to be a schematic out in the wild for assembly…
Help!

IIRC I had assembly issues too but contacting Milan was easy and he answered very quickly.
Have you seen the assembly video? (Second half for older versions)
I second asking Milan via mail, if you’re stuck.

It’s late, so I took a quick pick of mine assembled, so guess your’s is the other way up.
Happy to flip them and take the bits apart tomorrow if that helps? My flying PC is out of action until I’ve redecorated so it’s no inconvenience.

I have watched the vid yeah, but in it he just says to be careful about that hinge, doesn’t show how it’s put together. No matter, I rebuilt the thing in a way that it works. so yeah.
So, I hooked it up, recalibrated and had a bit of a fly. In the Phantom, it’s aight. In the MiG-15, ok. But in the Huey… whoo boy! Night and day. I did not expect it to make such a difference, but not fighting the center spring anymore makes for so much more smooth helicoptering! Wow!

Yes, the damper makes a huge difference. However, even before I had the damper I took out the spring to fly helps. Takes some getting used to as any change in pressure on the pedal will result in some movement but after a while it kinda felt like changing torque with your mind 
The damper makes it so much better though. Fantastic for Helis and WWII birds
