Hey Dino. My 700's are original "V1" Nitros (if you want to call them that) converted to flybarless with V2 NON DFC heads, V2 tail parts, and the 4.95 V3 gear ratio. Using the original boom length, not the longer Nitro DFC boom. Original size 693 mains and 105 tails.

No I have not. I have thought about doing this just in case there is some sort of an invisible vibe being caused by the engine or clutch.

Hello, Ive been reading through this thread and have found multiple fixes. I am wondering why it is when I changed to the new hub and grips and black tail gears i get the hum.
the tail WAS setup like this. v2 tail case (with big metal silver bar in between the plates), new dual silver pitch slider, White rear tail gears, and v1 tail hub and grips.. with that setup i am still currently using the black front tt gears(faster ratio) and black auto gear.. and finally the original align 105s.--- Now with this setup I was running up to 2300hs on the head with absolutely no hum. the tail was smooth as it could be in the air..With no issues or HUM ever!!!! Just recently I changed the rear TT gears to the black ones with the new hub and the silver tail grips. I now have the hum.... everything else on the heli was untouched. Im trying to figure out why the previous setup worked? And now the new setup does not.? parts changed were all brand new... If the tail blades worked with the previous setup, then i suspect it wouldn't be the blades.. Any ideas? Questions? Thank You Mattox

the only thing that is proven here is that the new tail shaft is not a fix but in the best case just a cover-up of the tail issue. That's confirmed by your experience. I am afraid, the issue arises from the combination of a number of factors in the tail assembly. I had the hum with "old" plastic tail grips, and when I changed to the silver metal grips, it was gone. On another heli, I had the hum with Align tail blades, and when I changed to Rotorchtechs, it was gone. I had a very smooth tail with almost no vibes (vbar vibe test) without tail blades, and as soon as I put the blades on, I had terrible vibes. The same blades worked just fine on my second heli. So, I think it is trial and error - but change just one part at a time. Otherwise you cannot find out what the critical piece is in your case. Pls, keep us posted! Best Peter |

Weight seems to be one problem, but take a black TT gear and see how it fits on the TT before you assemble everything, it's a pretty bad fit and has to be causing some vibration.

I haven't had any hums on my two 700s, and one I did for a friend. We have run either Rails, or Edge SEs from the get go.

Re: 700 DFC tail issue
Quote:
Just saw this issue & remember solving it by changing PWM of the motor as I'm using CC 120 or 160 ECS changed setting from outer run to 8hz or 12hz.... hope this can help if you wish to have a try Abdul Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk |

PWM has nothing to do with this tail hum. Also recommended setting is 12hz. Shouldn't be in outrunner setting.

Seeing the above post also got me to thinking and remembering when I first built my 700V2. I didn't initially experience what I guess everyone is referring to as tail hum, but I sure did get tail surging. Scared the hell out of me the first time I ran it up. Those issues however had nothing to do with the mechanics of the tail, but had everything to do with the ESC/motor setup. I was running too high a gain on the governor setup in the Castle, and it was causing the motor to rapidly change rpm, and was causing the tail to chase it.
Now fast forward to today's tail hum issues. Could it just possibly be caused by governor gain that is just a tad bit too high, not real high like mine originally was, but just high enough to make the motor change rpm enough to hear it? It seems like we have tried everything else???

That said, we should have seen that at a lower HS with heavier blades, and I'm sure that there are peeps who have had the issue running a curve vs a governor. Still, I remember reading where someone had the hum, and they swapped every part at the field with a known good bird, and swapping the boom block+gear assy fixed it. Now to me, that sounds like a cyclic bind on the drive gears, inducing a torsion load/unload of the TT, with the TT acting as a torsion spring, storing the energy. With the right mass blades, with tight screws, I can see a harmonic being hit at the right rpm. Lighter blades, or loose screws would make it better, which are known to help the issue. Gears being out of round can cause the TT to accelerate and decelerate slightly/revolution too, but once again, I saw TT gears WAY more out of round than these on my 600N (The old gray gears were really really bad) and never saw this issue, and neither did anyone else, as far as I know, so who knows Same theory as yours really, just different causes. I feel like we're all grasping at straws on this one.
