Interesting... I'll consider that option if the problem comes back. Right now I think I've got it all set.

All-CNC looks nice, but it gets quite heavy.
My preference would be the carbon fiber tailpiece (or stock double bearing), stock rear servo mount BUT the CNC seesaw spindle.

all IMO, please feel free to disagree.

rubber tail mount

While I'm taking photos: The attached modification (rubber pieces cut from a bicycle tube) helped with vibrations in the tail fin, when the tail rotor is at full pitch.

Edit: the heli as in the pictures is still a bit tail-heavy. The receiver and ESC will move forward as far as possible.

BTW, there may be another, later post.
At least I can recommend those robotbird LiPos, those are the best I've got. The original link came from mahbouni.
