Did you put a motor in the tail rotor? I'm intrigued...

Yes, with some surgery : 8mm * 4mm dia, I bought 5 of them for less than 2 euro on eBay vendor motorhouse , but there are several vendors. Free shipping to Europe, it took a month to get them. Main rotor has a 12 mm * 8 mm motor . Both run in parallel on a 5v power bank. Lights too, but I don't know any more which resistances were used to balance the circuits. I also have a MP3 module and a speaker under the baseplate that produces Seaking running engine and rotor noise. Great Fun.
