The servo on the tail needs to be a digital servo, and I went with the Futaba 9254, but that's for 600 sized helis(It's a big servo, adds unnecessary weight), the Futaba 9257 is a good servo to put on the tail of a 450 tho.
The tail is important, there are some good gyro/digital servo combos out there for around $100, it's money well spent, if you want to have a tail that holds during 3D, you need to spend the money on the tail.
Sure, it's at 100% throughout, and about -13+13 deg pitch. Swash ARF, not sure, but the cyclic pitch isn't that extreme, only +/-6deg if you measure on the main blade, both for forward/backward cyclic.
You need carbon fiber blades to have a solid flight, I had the pro woodies on before this and it feels much more sluggish/sloppy in the air, you get sharp control with the carbon fiber blades.
Motor is a scorpion 2221-6 on an 11T, that's enough power not to bog. THe 430XL on 13T is good too.
Oh ya, and the batteries are important for power, just as important as motor/ESC/blades. I was using the ZIPPY-K's, or Rhino's from hobbycity, they're only $32 and they seem way better than the EVO25's!
What servos do you use to do this 3d ??

The servos on the cyclic are HS65HB's.

wow!can you tell me your throtle curve,max. and min.pitch angle,and your swash mix percentage?
thanks!!!cause she is flying so hard and powerfull that i`m looking for some setup like that!
