| ...keep the setup simple and make just one change at a time to see the effect it makes. FAI setup is a lot of trial and error. The setup that works for some other pilot, doesn't necessary fit your flying style.
The pilot who used two different durometer dampeners at the same time, was me It worked well fot that time, but doesn't mean that I would use it all the time. It was just a quick change just before second round because I really hadn't any time to fiddle something else. But it worked well anyway.
You can use extra weights on flybar, but keep in mind that it makes your controls less sensitive. I see you're flying the SSR-II head, which in my opinion is way less sensitive than e.g. SSR-VI. So you don't need any extra weight if you're having all the weights inside the paddles or at least do not put them very out on the flybar. If you have very heavy paddles and the extra weights on the flybar it may be difficult to correct the hellicopter fast enought especially when going slow piruettes, in which imo the SSR-II needs more correction than the SSR-VI. SSR-VI does really get out of your control in wind without some changes in the head. I'm tweaking on them now, but haven't found a superb setup yet
