Thank you Kevin, it was like making notes that I would use sometime. Some were useful some other not.
Sven, yes I remember! Good he is still around. What I don`t remember is my RCgroups registration account.

I noticed it in your video, it was drifting. But if the build is OK, bearings, gears/etc make contact with the inner ring only then it is the 3in1.
Try adjusting the "proportional" pot while battery is unplugged. Give some more gyro gain too (you have it all way up so that`s not good news, it should tail wag).
Then try adjusting more the pots, sometimes they have dirt and turning them again may help.
Some 3in1 drift, some are rock stable. If it is something wrong with it then it will never stop drifting.
I lube the motors too, this helps making them run smooth. Watch for a loose motor connection to the 3in1 too.
I may be mistaken but I think blades may make drifting too. Not so sure if I remember right. You never know if you try another pair.

I ordered one cabin from ebay, I asked for a green one as I can`t remember if I have one or two. I hope it arrives green.

Taped cabin cannot break but makes the heli around 30grams heavier, if I remember right, and makes balancing more tricky.
A stock cabin and stock inner shaft is the perfect combo for indoor use. It flies way better this way.
I have one for indoor use and can take off and land at very tight spaces, less than 1 sq. meter.
As you have no blade strikes then stock inner shaft is the best. More stable, more accuracy, less vibrations.

Some of my fleet is eating dust here:
I see I had used some parts of the Xtreme landing skid and used some white skid brackets that I don`t remember from which heli they were from. But somewhere I must have written about.
And the unfinished brushless xtreme body project...
