MFG Crosswind Damper Mod

Following my first (and quite successful) attempt at modding my Thrustmaster TPR thanks to Greekbull and Yomo (

Once again, no surprise, the feeling is incredible. Note that, unlike the TPR mod, this one can't have both centering mechanism (spring) and damper, making it less relevant for fixed wing, but totally amazing for choppers.

Excellent idea and construction!

Thanks. Note that this mod is totally reversible. There is no drilling/cutting/glueing involved. So if you don t like it or want to sell your mfg, you can put the spring back in 5 minutes.

Looks a nice mod for helicopter flight.

Hhmmm. Nice.

Thanks! I'm gonna try it

Is it too much hassle to ask for a parts list for this mod BAD CrC?

Does the bracket around the damper come as standard or is it and additional unit?

Any additional washers...... all the bits and bobs to see a fella through, from start to end.

What is the switch to normal use time like?

Sure Rogue,

I used this one from amazon for the MFG mod, but pretty much any long type motorcycle damper should do the trick (as long as it is a long type with like 330 to 360mm).

As you can see, all dampers come with the bracket.

For the rest, you need a long 8mm diameter screw to fix one end of the damper to the rudder moving part and one medium 4mm (or 6 mm?) screw to fix the other end using the existing hole in the base of the rudder (at least for my serial number). Of course, some washers and bolts of the same diameters.

The whole mod shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to install.

MFG Crosswind V3 come with damper mounting holes now. I used a M8x40 with 2 bolts as spacers on the top. I used a M8x25 on the bottom.
