Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\omega$. Let the bisector of angle $A$ meet $\omega$ at $D$ and $BC$ at $E$. Let the reflections of $A$ across $D$ and $C$ be $D'$ and $C'$, respectively. Suppose that $\angle A = 60^o$, $AB = 3$, and $AE = 4$. If the tangent to $\omega$ at $A$ meets line $BC$ at $P$, and the circumcircle of APD' meets line $BC$ at $F$ (other than $P$), compute $FC'$.
