MDS weights are working great on the Alpha. From 9-10k the stock 48 degree helix does not work very well though. Running a stock weight secondary spring it would not backshift right at times. Changed to a 45 degree helix made a significant difference. Running the super short bolt in the tip.
Edit - I’ve only tested the stock 48 helix at 9k. I do not know how it works with the MDS weights (new style) at lower elevation. For me the 45 at this elevation made a significant difference.
There was a foot off fresh yesterday so I could not keep close eye on how it was holding the rpms but it sounded and felt good. See if I can watch to today better but it’s snowing now so not likely.
