| What is it that you're using to hold the tail shaft in place solidly?

Basically just two CF plates arranged vertially. The tail boom passes through a hole in each of the plates (tight fitting) and is then tightened down to the frame with a cable tie.
The cable tie goes over the boom, through two slots in the CF plate below the boom and back up to the boom. If desired one can also glue the boom in, but we prefer to have the option for easy removal....
So far it works fine "on the bench", the tail boom does not move or twist.
We used the same simple technique on our Zoom/Shogun frame, so we figured why not try it on the T-REX as well.
Here a picture of the Shogun (don't have a close-up of the REX handy at the moment):
