I feel they are better than the HS-65. The centering is MUCH better and it also has a huge increase in speed. It just over all makes the heli feel more solid, and feel better. Anything that can make it easier on your thumbs is a plus ! The HS-65s work well though, don't get me wrong.
I am actually doing that right now. This past weekend I was doing some expeirmenting on the paddles to adjust those characteristics. I found as I sharpened the L/E it did get pitchy, but with a more "blunt" L/E it tracked fine. As it sits, the Bandit does not have the pitchy feeling. Its pretty locked in in all orientaions.
Actually, funny you mention wind. I was flying the Bandit yesterday in 35+PMH winds. I needed my fix I guess Granted, it was bounced around, but it was possible, and was still fun.
Most likely it sounds as if, on your Fury and Ion, it was the paddles (possibly too sharp L/E or highpoint too far back, or even paddle C/G). Too it could have been flybar length, or the actual C/G of the heli. It could also be a number of other things as you mentioned also, such as mixing and delta adjustment, or dampeneing. Thats one of those trimming things you just have to play with until you get the set-up exactly how you like it.
