If by chance something goes wrong with your tail section on your Insane Gaui 200 and you just happen to have a Copterx 200 tail section including TPS, you can use it and it works great.. :thumbup:

How do the copter x 200 tail blades compare to the Gaui one's? Are they bigger?

Slighty bigger.. I tried the copterx blades and lifted the back end so they won't scrape the ground but all it did was make a loud flutter and piro like crazy..:shock:
I put the gaui blades on and it worked very very nicely.. im using the align rce-500x gyro with a hitec hs50.. Kinda feels like I have the weight mod on the tail....

I'm slow so hang in there. What your saying is that the Copter-X tail works good with the Gaui tail rotors but doesn't work with the Copter-X rotors?

Yeah.. the tail blades from the Copterx 200 are a bit too big.. I'm sure if I adjusted the gain, I might be able to use the bigger tail blades but you would have to be concerned about the ground clearance..
Everything including the tail pitch slider from the CopterX200 works with the Gaui 200. The tail casing from the copterx 200 doesn't fit. I am using the gaui 200 CNC tail casing.

I was manually moving the ruddder back and forth. NO BINDING AT ALL!

I'm just trying to figure out how to get bigger tail blades.
Couple more questions.
Looks like the Copter-X Rotor shaft/grips are longer than stock, are they?
Do you have a bent tail shaft? Looks like it has a wobble.

Yeah, the shaft is a little bent. I left that one on while I was testing. Didn't wanna ruin a new one. It got bent in a crash that destroyed the original tail section..
