hehe yeah =) that is a page I'ev started but haven't quite got done yet. It sounds like you've done several of them. Some other ones that you can do is downgrade to the hiller head, move the servo arms in 1 link, upgrade to a 1300mAh lipo for extra weight, or downgrade to an NiMH pack for extra weight and lower voltage so things are not spinning quite so fast and so responsive. You could also try a gyro with HH. That will make it so you don't have to think about the tail so much. If youare gona end up with a trex I would get a futaba gy401.

Also I would double check everything and make sure that the swash is level, and all the other mechanical things are setup. Maybe if you know someone who can fly cp helis have them take a look at it and see if they can get it airborne. That's a real important one, becuase it could be that somehow something isn't setup quite right and even a good pilot would have a hard time flying your heli.

There are also some good foam blades that are only 4 bucks a set that wont break much of anything when you are flying =)

Also the paper clip mod and the fuse mod are really helpful in avoiding damange to parts.
