chitty024....... Its hard to see with the picture you gave but it looks like you only have one tail control guide on the tail boom. You need 2 and they have to be on it before you mount it to the heli. As I said its hard to see......

I put them on last night...kinda suprised they are not adjustable so you can tighten after install. What is the proper procedure for installing them? If you are speaking of the control rod for the rear pitch control...all I have is one carbon rod...which was also not installed in the pic Nevermind I reread and you said guide...there are 2 the one was just slid up against the tail servo mount However I would still like to know about the supports. ;D

Whats your question? "What is the proper procedure for installing them?" It looks like you have them on now. When you tighten the stabilizer top fin it clamps the rear boom. There is no need for adjustment up and down the boom if that's what you mean as they are at the right length. The supports are to keep the boom solid and are as good as you can get being carbon and cnc alu.
When you are screwing in the top screws look down the tail from the rear. Make sure everything is at the right angles. That is the rear fin is in line with the main shaft ( which also aligns the rear tail hub ) and the stabilizer fin on top of the boom is at 90 degrees/ right angle to the main shaft.
So your kit has a carbon tail control rod. Mine was metal. Put up more pics when you get a chance.

it just seemed like to properly brace the tail they would need to be more tight than they are.

Awesome! what is the wiring order though? the esc says a b c and the wires say nothing The wires connecting from ESC to motor doesnt make any difference except the direction in which it will spin. That said, once its all connected (test w/o blades) if its spinning the wrong direction, swap out any 2 of the 3 wires to reverse.

If I was you I would invest in a set of good Alen key drivers and not use the ones you have in your pic. You will end up damaging the screws, especially the small ones and they can be a nightmare to get out if you do. The motor pinion grub screw is a good example. That must be very tight and also the tail hub. Also dry fit the motor into to frame to make sure the pinion covers the whole main drive. Mine did not and I had to file down the motor shaft a bit in order for the grub to sit in a groove. No big deal to do. When testing the motor with no blades do not give it full throttle as you may cause damage.

I keep those keys around for emergency use, like in a tight spot. I picked up a set of dynamite hex drivers when I started the Chaos
