Heh, at first I actually screwed it in between the two halves of the fuselage, right at the bottom of the bit of vertical fin that sticks down from the tail. After awhile that became too loose, so I ended up taping it to the side of the tail so it would stay, and not be too visible.

yeah my friend has one and we were getting good without the weight added then we decided to tie a string to the tail and then a bottle cap around the end. looked stupid but flew great.
so did you just tape the screw on? or did you actualy screw it in.

thejang @ 12:00 am

I used a push-pin …
I used a push-pin at first, then later a 3×8mm screw. It's a fraction of a gram. It made all of the difference in handling though. Without it, the heli was always in fast forward flight. What's needed will vary from heli to heli, though, as they're not all 100% identical!

Yep it's the same thing. The Reflex is just the new release of the Helix, made a little more stable and with a more reliable charger.

Thank you! Now that I have a video of it in stock form, modifications can begin! I've already removed the body & motor guards and moved the battery back to maintain the CoG. I like the body on yours — great minds think alike! I plan to do an AH-1.
