| What do you call a little tail issue, I get a little movement from mine, but as soon as it reverts to fast forward flight it is not noticeable.
All it is in a hover is a very slight twitch of the tail, but it locks back on to centre and doesn't continue around, if you know what I mean....?

Before the new tail servo it was a swinging type of tail.. now it's just a little flick.. and gyro is on zeal. Whaat's left of the tail movement I do believe is down to tuning on mine .. after cleaning out the carb yesterday it's bound to need some changes..which was today's intention until the tail let go..
And I doubt it's as simple as the torque tube ends being backing out..if memory serves (it's been a while since I pulled preddie's tail) there is indexing both ends?..also it's got a tail mounted servo and that serves as a indicator of front end boom position and the back end has 2 lots of clamps (with the fin) and is solid..
I'll find out when i take it apart.. not a big issues, just happy it happened on the ground.. and my first preflight of the day does include turning tail rotors while holding main rotors to judge how well bound they are; no skip etc...
..but I'm hoping to do Spectras post rebuild maiden tomorrow so preddie can wait until that's finished.. just blade pitch range to set and GV-1 and 611 and final checkover and canopy grommets (all those little things where you can so easily miss something)
