Does anyone know if tail-blade tracking can be adjusted? Mine are definitely not in track.

Try either loosening or tightening the bolts that hold the tail fins in place.

It's little and light, but I figure at 80% head speed this tail spins nearly a million times in an hour of flight, so little irregularities can become significant. This may not be the case. My tail vibrates more with blades than without, so I'm trying to mitigate that.

Thanx. Taken at low rpm.

The little Gaui tail blades bend easily. I'd bet if you sight down the rotor one or both is slightly warped.
