Hi Folks
Just changed out the Pinion. Went from a 16 to a 17.
Have major vibes in the fin on the left side looking at it from the rear. Also the gyro is wagging a bit in flips . What would cause the sudden change in attitude?
Would changing the pinion to a 17 affect the duration of a flight?
Kindly let me know
Thanks

Flight times may be less, also with headspeed higher the gyro gain may need to be stepped down. As for the vibe i'm not sure

Well something worked.
I changed out the entire rear end. New flange bearings , tail rotor shaft and hub .
Took it ouside for a test and it worked. Thanks for the advice.
Many many thanks
