I knew it had to happen sooner or later. 
I tore my entire head down and re-aligned it after seeing instructional videos online that were quite in depth. The blade tracking issue was finally resolved and I couldn't believe the difference in sound alone. The helicopter wasn't any more stable in flight, however, but it sure as heck was a lot more responsive to input.
Long story short, I dumb-thumbed the tail into the dirt before I could cut the throttle. I only broke the tail rotor control arm (the ring that fits over the ball on the slider split open). Still, it is going to ground me until I get a replacement.
Going to try some CA and some reinforcing material to see if I can salvage it. Why don't they make these things out of aluminum... plastic sucks.
