Default RE: Help...a little front to back wobble on my v-2

I have the same problem. FYI, I am using 3 HS-65 MG on the cyclic, very solid no play at all. The tail servo is a HS-56, I will upgrade it if necessary. The wobble is obvious in hover, but not so obvious (or present) in forward flight. Idle-up is more solid. It becomes the worst when the battery dies down towards the end. I am suspecting that servos don't have enough holding power when voltage drops? I am really not sure. Please help. Thanks.

by front to back, you mean nose is bobbing up and down?

Again, same question is it nose bobbing up and down, or tail wobble side to side? When the battery gets to the end if you are using Align ESC, it is normal for it to surge for 10-15 seconds when batt low warning kicks in. If it is a tail wag, or tail moving from side to side, try turning down the gain on the gyro.

As Dave3913 elluded to, see sawing or front to back, is either low head speed or tight head dampening. Check out your see saw to be sure it is free in movement as this can cause oscilating, moving around in a circle if veiwed from above, which can look like bobbing at an eye sight level.
For our info, can you give us an idea of your head speeds? If no tach., pinion and motor kv. as well as throttle curve?

I would keep my head speed up above 2200 minimal.
Are you using the stock o rings with 1.5 mm spacer?

Ya, I just noticed it's a V2, not framilar with the head dampening. I assume it's stock. There should be some up down flex relative to being 90 degrees from main shaft.

Oh, that reminds me, take a look at your tail shaft. It can cause a little woble with a slight bend, being that leverage amplifies it.
