This morning I solved the rudder authority issue (I had failed to turn the GYRO on and set it... it was on INHIBIT). Without the blades, I put in the 12S and gave her a slow start up run to let the gears learn to love each other, took her to full and nothing flew off, took her to about 80% and let her run, all of the odd screeches and noises settled down, nothing smoked. I checked the balance weight on the two tail blades, installed them and spun her up for vibration and authority check, and there be a LOT of power there. Balanced the Align blades (usually spot on, needed a touch of tape) and installed them.
She is now ready for her maiden!

Lovely looking machines. I really need to get myself a decent heli again.. tired of and bored with the little CB180 I bought myself to get my hand back into heli flying.
