Blades are tracking good, I'm not sure that they are 100% balanced but I don't really get any wooble either. I used a pitch guage to get them both at the same pitch.

I'll keep fiddling with the tail servo until I get it right. I do let it calibrate itself before messing with any controls or moving it.

I guess its "bad" to know that it won't just hover with no interaction, but its good to know that what I'm experiencing is expected and that I just need to work the stick and be patient. I'll maybe fiddle with the linkages one more battery just to make sure I'm as good as I can get and then start working on actually using the sticks to control it!!
