Ever so slightest tail wag

[lexie2797]

Ok I have fixed my vibrations which were caused by the A gear not being completely true spinning. But now i'm still left with a tiny amount of wag even at the lowest gain settings. I do have some slop in my TT but waiting on the replacement but could this be the cause? Does wag means i still have a vibration? Also i wil be putting the extreme pitch lever in when it arrives today or tomorrow.

Is there any play in the tail grips or slider? Any kind of play that allows your tail blades to pitch back n forth could cause a wag.

there is almost zero slop although i'm waiting on my xtreme pitch lever to see if thats the case but could the TT also be a cause of wag due to vibrations? I know my TT isn't completely straight.

you could have a rough spot in the gear train, tt could be bent. If its wag it's probably friction/ gear train binding. If it's wandering and imprecise I'd say excessive slop in blade grips/ slider/ lever.

Finally cut a MCPS canopy grommet in half and installed it on the bottom peg of my Microhelli bearing slider. Slop is almost completely gone in tail assy. (Except for the slop in my crummy (new) HH Blade Tail serv0! Flys good, but still, just a bit of wag now and then.
