I noticed the tail was a little loose and upon inspection there is only one screw holding it in, yet there is a hole on the other side clearly for a screw.

Is there supposed to be two holding it onto the boom? I looked in the box but did not see it loose.

If there is only normally one screw, is it OK for the tail to wiggle a little?

Mine was exactly the same, so I put another screw in it!

I honestly don't have another screw, I'm wondering if it's normal so I can A. Maybe go try and hover it soon and if it's not normal - B. Can tap Xheli for the cost to ship/replace it.
I'd need the washer too, tiny little thing.

Also the tail boom is almost perfectly straight but not perfectly straight. Is that ok?

It would seem that 1 screw is the norm, my tail is bent slightly after a couple of "prangs" not made any difference to the handling.

I would buy a pack of spare screws/nuts they come in handy.

There should be 2 screws, however, if you are missing one, you will probably be ok as long as you make sure the other one is tight. Go ahead and order yourself a couple of tail motors as you will need them eventualy, and they come with the screws. When you get your motors, go ahead and add the missing screw then.

Also the main motor mounting screws will sometimes work themselves loose, so every now and then check those for tightness as well.
