Thank you.
Unfortunately values of the vibration level are not preserved. Do you remember what was displayed there?

That ended well... Set the tail blades up, entered the Analysis mode, throttled up and destroyed a brand new set of tail blades plus my hand... awesome, keeps getting better this does.

Absolutely, These things are not toys!

I've done this procedure countless times, not sure why it tried to kill me this time! :lol:

Before entering the analysis, model will lock all servos to prevent any unexpected movements.
Very likely your tail servo was not centered and it locked in position which was causing to model to move.

I've not tried flying it yet, do the vibrations look within tolerances?

Flew the Goblin today, tried with Geolink Position hold - had to input full forward elevator and right aileron in order to maintain level flight.

Turned off Geolink and just used Coaxial and it was stable.

What is the next step?

Thank you for the message. So the new unit had no improvement, am I right?

Unfortunately the spike is still very high. I am afraid it look like vibration problem.

There is chance we can make it work also with these vibrations. We are working on new improvement where vibration level will not play a role also in GeoLink features.
So this can be helpful. But the best would be to bring the vibration level down. The spike coming from the tail should be at least 2 times lower.
It might take 1-2 weeks to make it work even in this condition.
