If you want the helicopter to be free of vertical bounce, and who doesn't, you must adjust the track using the tabs, mentioned in the original post, to get the blades to "fly" in the same path.

In ancient times flag tracking was used when each blade had a differant colored marker applied to the tip and ground tracking was completed when, after individual tab adjustment, all the colors were transferred on to the flag in the same vertical position.
