I can't tell if the tail pushrod guide needs to be able to turn on the boom to avoid restricting the pushrod. Do you glue it in place or does it need to be able to turn? For the moment I used a piece of tape on the boom on each side of the guide so it can turn but doesn't move along the length of the boom.

I believe that the assembly manual shows it being fixed to a specific position on the boom. I did the same thing as you, used a piece of tape that way if something happens it can still move without breaking.

I used the end of a zip tie slid between the support and the boom until it was nice and snug then cut the excess off each side. This makes the support adjustable but also keeps it in place. This is the same process used on the 450 which is shown in the manual.

I also used a piece of tape. I've got some flights on it and haven't had any trouble.
