Default RE: tail shaking/vibrating

I couldn't find a witchdoctor in the yellow pages so last night I sacrificed a bug to the heli gods, thinking that wasn't enough I looked at co-workers but decided better of it

I did look at the heli last night, it seems one of the servo's had come loose, I'm assuming at this point it gave way to the swash which bent that shaft... at any rate, a new high carbon shaft went in, those cheap ones all seemed bent... I thought about it and decided I didn't like the way my linkages looked and the setup, so I flipped the servo's... this allowed me to shorten the linkages (made me more comfortable not having them as far out on the threads), I checked everything over again and took it outside...

I got it up into a hover, no big tail shake, it did hover better than I ever remember it hovering, I'll try sacrificing another critter and flying it again this afternoon..
