David In that case perhaps you can answer a question for me about the new flybar carrier :twisted: I ordered one from Ricks and realised after they shipped it that I have ordered the wrong version I ordered the Tempest version instead of the extreme version as I am running an extreme head at the moment, what are the differences is it just a couple of bolts or is it more??

Zilly,
I never have seen the one for the Tempest version. I have the one for the metal head block, plastic grips rotor head or Extreme version as it is called.

But I did some research and found where Carey had explained the difference between the two versions.

There are two versions of the carrier, one for the Extreme head and one for the Tempest head. The difference is that the flybar control arms for the Tempest are straight whereas the ones on the Extreme head are angled.

I am thinking you could probably use the Tempest version with the Extreme style head. As long as the flybar arms did not hit the bottom of the blade grips at full deflection. You might want to try it and see.
