I ordered the metal tail case from Heli direct and it's a real nice piece, but unfortunalty it is not compatible with the stock gaui slider and arm! or maybe just not the arm. now that I look at their arm online I see the offset is less the 1/2 the stock Gaui, so for anyone ordering this tail, you will either need the complete assembly or the case and the arm. I upgraded to the Raptor slider so I hadn't planned on getting the whole assembly.

This has come up before and they do state on the website that it only works with the CNC arm assembly, when I bought mine they even had a combo price for both items..
It's always good to remind people and maybe someone else will see this post and prevent them form having to pay for shipping twice.

Man, your right, if you scroll down it does say it won't work with the plastic arm!

Another one is their CNC elevator...it only works with their CNC elevator control arm, it won't work with the Gaui plastic or CNC bellcrank....the holes are different where they connect.

Also, when you buy revco gears, you need to buy the proper pinion because the gaui pinions do not mesh correctly... I found that out the hard way.. And, sure enough, when you read the fine print, it tells you which pinion/pitch you need..
