New Suspension and Safety enhancement
I switched out the air shocks from the parts identified in this thread.
http://www.rotaryforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33959 I am very pleased with the result. I have 4 take offs and landings and a few long taxis. Over all the taxi's show less tendency to "bob". I really felt no difference in take off. The landings were either 4 very good landings or the shocks helped. In addition I made what I feel is a very important safety improvement. The dominator tail attaches to the mast with one bolt. I had one break, Scott Lewis had his break, and one other break of this bolt was reported on this forum. Although no one has been hurt, it could be a very bad problem if it broke in flight. I had a friend make a set of brackets patterned after a pair that Ernie made for Scott Lewis. Pictures follow.

Very nice Joe, You should notice a big difference next time you take off from a rough field too.
