I love a good goodbye post, but I love a good hello again post even more.
wanting to pick up a Lightspeed RNF96 as a backup to my PU w/ Futures, but all the OTR options are FCS2. I run the Rastas or the Elmores in my PU. Don't have any FCS2 in the fin quiver, so I'll have to grab a new set if so. Not too familiar with the FCS2 twin/trailer sets - seems like Futures has more options in that arena - but lookin at the MR or Aipa twin/trailer sets. what say the erbb, MR, Aipa... or both? 
FCS site says MRs are made of Performance Core and Aipas made of Performance Glass. On their materials chart PG is stiffer than PC, I tend to like stiff fins but the MRs are bigger fins, wonder if that would make up for the difference. 
Check out True Ames twin fiberglass set nice MR template done in glass plus I would not trust w/o grub screw twin set in fcs IIFCS site says MRs are made of Performance Core and Aipas made of Performance Glass.

TA Twin + Trailer - FCS Compatible (Solid Fiberglass)
We've paired our tried and true twin fin design with this 2.5" trailer fin which adds stability a some extra hold for larger days or powerful surf.

Not sure there is an equivalent. Christenson's outline is kinda similar but has bigger bases while having less height. One thing about the Christenson's is they move the fins up in the box a little (probably like 3/4") and toe them in some to get away with not having the leading fin edge cover the grub screws.
FCS will list their fin data on a link at the bottom of their website. Not sure why they make it so hard to find though. https://www.surffcs.com/pages/fcs-fin-data
Apologies for the double post...

Former Twad - White - Single Tab
Dane Reynolds and Channel Islands mastermind Britt Merrick have been working together a long time. The latest collaboration of this famous relationship is the CI/Former TWAD board and fin set that started as a hand shape Britt did for Dane when he requested a parallel railed, curvy-rockered...

Sounds very similar to my 5150 riding now with fins unlimited 2 win twin set fronts and fins unlimited S#1 quad rears in back moved up 1" from normal quad set up "stretch" with fronts being same as quad. I asked for twin and Dylan over at steetch steered me towards this after hearing great feedback from team riders Picon and Graves. I really like the feel has speed of twin with drive of a quad kinda hard to explain.
on a frontside cutback, does it have the grip and speed of a quad? I loved face carves on quads, just had issues pivoting without the third fin, and don't like the breakin totally free feeling of a twin unless im fully dialed?
I would say yes but so many factors in quad set up but with my set up has twin feel with out that surprise slip feel more drive.
