Something felt odd about the placement of Vortex's helicopter tail, so I decided to find a way to make it better. At first I was thinking of making an adaptor that would connect to the combiner hand port and then plug the tail into it. But then I thought of an easier way, I just hand drilled a 5mm port into the bottom of each foot, and trimmed the inside corners of each foot so they could be angled without interfering with each other. To install the tail you just have to angle the pegs into the new ports in the feet, and then fold the heel spurs down onto the tail to secure it in place. It hold very well even when shaken, and looks a lot better in my opinion! Only downside is that the tail rotor can't spin freely because of the heel spur, but it doesn't bother me, at least the main rotor doesn't get caught now.
Nicely done! I might do this mod myself, since my Not-Vortex is pretty screwed up across the board anyways. What do I have to lose?
