Appreciate the video. But why let the tail drop from vertical?

After watching the original video in this thread, I rechecked my balance holding the heli sideways (hadn't done that before) and it was a bit tail heavy. All I had to do was move my battery forward about 1/2 inch to get it to balance "properly".

I'm using Chrome 1300mAh 35C batteries with Dean's connectors. My Koby 40 is forward to the point where the Caps are protruding from under the tray. I'm using one Compass velcro strap. I also have a couple of strips of extreme tape in the canopy to prevent chafing of any wires that might rub up against it.

When I checked the balance using the recommended method, I did not let the tail fall like you did. I checked it on both sides as well. I have Edge 60mm tail blades on it with the Chinese weights. I don't know.
