Changed the gear I stripped, got the mesh perfect and the tail still has an in consistent wag plus this chirping noise that comes and goes. Changed the mesh on the main gear and nothing. Only thing I can think of is its in the motor or esc trying to maintain head speed.

Ended up turning my gov gain down to 2 and all is well again. The thing must have been pulsating trying to maintain headspeed which makes sense because it only made the noise when moved the heli around loading and unloading the motor, in a hover it was silent. Now its very smooth and the tail holds better.

  yep, as long as the surface of the sleeve isn't worn in an way, still nice and smooth.  Sometimes the rollers get crunk jammed up around itself and the tabs, reducing it's effectiveness.

  This weekend should be nice for a side-by-side comparison of the 2.  Could run the same setup on the 2 brands and listen to them.

  I read around and most say that either generator is very good,  I read a few things on forums somewhere that some of the parts that are metal on the Yami's are plastic on the Honda's.
