The best position for tail centering is to adjust the rudder link so that you have 4.5mm between the pitch slider and the tail rotor casing. Now do keep in mind that while running a slow rpm(like when the engine is rich) the tail will be off trim, but when up to normal speed this measurement is very close to center. NOTE: Any time you adjust any links you have to reset the end point adjustment for that servo
