It's funny how just a miniscule adjustment can make all the difference in the world.
Recently my 500 had a nice little tail wobble. I increased the gyro gain and reduced it, move the servo, adjusted the blades and everything else I could think of.
So, today, I was studying the problem and I remembered a fellow heli dude talking about the connection to the servo needs to be as close to the hub as possible without interfering with the tail rotor blade travel. I thought what the heck, I'm going to move the connecting rod in closer by one screw hole. I reset the end points and took it out for a spin, and wow, it worked!!! The tail is rock solid no wobble, no wag, just straight solid tail. I could turn loose of the sticks for about 5 seconds it is so solid. I was really impressed in this little tip so I thought I would share it with you guys.
On the other hand I think my batteries are about ready to get replaced, both of them get real puffy after I fly and they only last about 6 minutes now.
Hope this helps someone else it really helped me.
