Hi
Is anyone experiencing any vibration on the horizontal fin? (Only on the fin)
If so what is the cause and what is the fix?
Kindly let me know

There are always small vibrations in different parts, but if you have one showing up noticibly or affecting the heli then there might be an issue.

If it is only in the one fin then I would first check to make sure it is tight and all things it is attached to are tight. Maybe one of your boom supports is loose and letting your boom vibrate just enough that you are seeing it in the fin. Another thing to check is if there is a crack in the tail. If it is carbon fiber then it might have a hidden crack that has made it weak and letting it oscilate noticably. Just try and lightly flex each side and if there is a crack you can't see then one side should flex much easier. Hope this helps.
