I as well as mostly alot of other people, do like the idea of a package, because it get rid of the, O gosh will this stuff work wit my stuff that i dont but kinda question, even though it says right on the gforce website its compatable with TT stuff.

The dampening looks good to me, although i have never messed with "tunable" one, but it dont matter, all 90s will be going in my head! :mrgreen:

An idea just came to mind,but garf prolly has it covered by now, to add a 3rd hole on mixing arms, his of course, and make those tunable as well. This is gonna be a Nice head, just like the AVANT ones, but not as far tuneable!

The mixing arms have three holes on the long side (11, 12, 13 degrees +/- pitch)
the short side of the arm has two, normal, and high cyclic response. I've stuck with the normal so far, +/-13 and 9 degrees cyclic gives me the chills........ :D

The bottom mixing arms(washout base)

Not positive, But I would think he has everything covered with the adjustable mixing arms up top, and the flybar cage, not sure what more you are going to get with adjustable washout arms? Isn't it accomplishing the same thing?

Bottom mixers and washout wouldn't do nothing no, however for people who want a total metal upgrade this would come into play, such as myself. I didn't want the bottom plastic mixer arms, washout either. It makes more sense imho to bundle things together and offer them seperate or as a complete package with a slight discount for the complete. All imho of course, I will still try this G Force head later on. :)

The Kasama head uses three contact points on the mainshaft. One jesus bolt and two compression screws where the washout pins are held in place.

Same system that the G-Force head uses, I think this is one of the things that contribute the crisp cyclic, and tracking.
I agree, I'll have to get the washout set down the road, And I think that once everything is available, there will be a bundle option for those who prefer that route .

I've been looking at the G-Force head and I think I'm going to try one.
There are a number of things that interest me:

No binding at extreme settings.
O-ring dampening like MA and JR machines.
One-piece flybar cage, so no flexing or twisting.
Clamping design for mainshaft attachment.
2 screws in head button.

I will give a complete comparison with the Kasama, as soon as I can ring the G-Force out.

You will like the G-Force head and mixers. I had them on my 50. I havent yet tried them on my 90, but it should be good!

As to stick with Crazy geezer original question. I love the Kasama Complete Head, and the QuickUK complete Tail Housing with grips…this is the best set up for me.

So question to the GForce people, is having 13 degrees pitch and 9 degrees cyclic "truly" obtainable "without" any binding on any linkages? If so I am ready to click buy, lol. Even if I could safely get 12-12.5 and 8 degrees of cyclic I would be happy. I am thinking of this on my ERaptor 620 which uses a 3 servo 90 degree swash. "stock"

Shawn,

The head is designed to go up to +/-13 deg without any binding.

Some of my pilots have pushed it to +/-14.5 deg with minor binding.

I guess I am looking for a combination answer, how much "combined"? Cyclic and collective input..

The mixing arms have two holes on the short arm and three holes on the long arm.

You have six combinations of pitch throws on this head. You can run +/-13 degrees collective with as little as 6.5 degrees to 9 degrees cyclic.

I highly suggest you ask pilots on this forum and other forums that use this head/3D mixer to see what settings they are using.

Shawn,

The blades grips are a few weeks away but don't hold me to that. We are ramping up again after the holidays.
