    Numerous people have kindly posted worthy suggestions and I did follow up on most of them but of course it dident cure the odd tail vibration, I replaced almost the whole darn heli chasing the cause of this vibe and if it isnt sorted now the "Look Out"

    But you'll look back on those hours of frustration and fiddling, think about how much tme and money you wasted when you could have been down the pub..

    But now you'll have a superb smooth-flying heli that is sheer joy...


    ..and then crash it again

      Got the heli out between the showers this morning to see how smooth it is now I've sorted the twitchy tail.

      Yesss It's still twitching as solid as ever

      It twitches in Rate Mode as well as HH but I don't know what else to replace, I have a spare TT that I will replace this afternoon but that was also new just last week!

      This heli is a gnats whisker away from getting dumped as I just don't need this stress any more and the medication is only just keeping me from drop kicking it into the middle of next week!

      OK back to the drawing board for the very last time.

        I battled for a long time with one of mine...

        I can; remmeber the lst of stuff you've tried but assuming you havnelt missed anythign on the mechanics and you have at least 2 TT bearings and the gear bearings on the TT ends are good.. then it really comes down to vibes affecting gyro or wire routing.

        Have you tried pulling the blades and spinning it up low rpm on the ground and runnings hands over it to feel for a vibe source? Then pull bits off until you find the assembly responsible...

        or come over this w/e while the weather is rubbish and we'll go through it together?.. could even let you borrow my just buit 700 tail end to see..

        Oh.. one thought ..have you checked the grip thrust bearings?
