Not a big fan of the Batman tail fin, I ordered from Flying-Hobby (http://flying-hobby.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=3_5_8) a more conventional tail fin plus the CNC tail servo mounts. I included an extra $6 for "Speed Post" shipping. The good news is that the service was excellent. I ordered on the 11th, and my package arrived at my office from China on Saturday the 15th. I wasn't there, so they brought it back on Monday the 17th.
But neither item is quite as I expected. The tail fin is much wider than I judged by the catalog -- proportionally too big for this small heli, to my eye -- and the carbon fiber material is twice as thick. It's also .7-gram heavier, so I won't be using it. The servo mounts are better; they look great, very precise, but they weigh twice as much as the stock parts. I may use them anyway.
