It is the firmest WarBRD spring option for pilots who want a stronger return to centre.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who is it for?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is aimed at pilots running heavy grips or long stick extensions. The added mass of those setups benefits from a stronger centering force so the stick returns to centre crisply rather than feeling soft.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I use it on a desktop base that is not bolted down?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is not recommended. Because the centering force is significantly higher, VIRPIL advises against loose desktop use. This set is best on a hard-mounted base so the extra force does not move the base around.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which base does it fit?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is made for the VPC WarBRD base family. Our stocked base is the VPC WarBRD-D Base.

If you are weighing up options, we can talk you through the difference.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it hard to fit?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is a standard spring swap on the WarBRD base using the supplied instructions.
