It seems as though none of the molded in bearings for the tail grips are true with the hub. And at $50 a pair it's too expensive to try and find a true pair of grips. Through my experience you can take a brand new set of grips, new 2mm shcs and assemble them to a new hub and the assembly will not be close to true. Take a grip in each finger and thumb and pull outward. The hub will spin, rotate and wobble. My tail now is the best it has been but there is still a high freq buzz. The vertical fin is just a bit blurry and I know it's just a matter of time before something fatigues again and the VE yard darts.

I have had horizontal fins break, tail shafts bend and tail boxes fatigue. A couple times during forward flight causing pretty major repair bills.

It's a dumb fix but if you take the tail hub off the shaft and tweak around the bb's in the grips and play with the the 2mm grip mounting screws you can get the grips pretty true to the hub. Remember to locktite them screws.

I just ordered some Eco 8 tail parts. They look very similar to the VE tail stuff. It also has a 3 mm tail shaft and replacable bb's in the grips. The grips are only $7 a pair compared to being forced to buy the entire $50 JR version. Hopefully they will be straight and adapt to the VE tail box.

I will post how the Eco stuff adapts to the VE.
