Sorry, the reply was to you, not to Bill. Cat 1 F1D on full motors doesn't feature in any flying we do here in UK. It would be an interesting variation for us but opportunities are few and far between without a significant amount of spadework in terms of finding new sites. It may happen yet!

  I do not know if this message was meant as a reply to me or to Bill.
  Anyway, you described in a more elegant way what I intended to say, use
  the second spring additional on the high end only to allow a bit higher
  initial pitch than would be possible with a fixed high pitch setscrew.
