Align offers three types of Damper. 70, 80, and 90 degrees. What's the difference? What does the 70, 80, and 90 degrees mean?

70, 80, and 90 DUROMETERS... duro's is the measurement for the stiffness of the rubber ring. Stiffer dampeners gives you better cyclic "response", making the heli react quicker to cyclic inputs and therefore more agile.

Durometers, never heard of that unit before. Used for flexable materials like rubber or plastic?

Here's an interesting durometer scale http://stripe.colorado.edu/~genovaj/Durometerscale.html
