Hi guys
I've kind of been away for some time.
I recently fixed up my Warp after the failed maiden and flew it indoors
there is a tail wag,
Hopefully i'll get the wrinkles ironed out.

Congrats on the maiden!

Let us know if you need help on the tail wag ... first thing I'd look at is to make sure the tail operations smoothly and then check that the tail belt guide wheels are not rubbing the frame.

And, un hook the CF control rod from tail pitch arm and push/pull with your fingers, it should run silky smooth. I also pop the plastic links onto a old ball I have attached to some broken bit and check for tightness then ream to suit. The ball and cup is also a big reason for stiffness and needs reaming too. Again with the rod disconnected push / pull / ream till smooth.

Nice!
If the wag persists, it may be due to using a too long tail servo horn. Using the shortest possible hole usually gives the best results.

Enjoy your Warp
