What would cause the stock walkera servos to be twitching around without any stick movement.The digital tail servo doesnt.Sometimes when i stir the stick around it will stop for a while,but comes back.Thanks for any suggestions.

Probably the pots in the servos are bad.

Bummer to hear that...thought that only happened with the older electronics. This is what I tried before on the DF4.

1. One of the potentiometers in the TX had a wire hanging on by just one strand.

2. I also find that when the TX batteries run low, the Heli seems to do crazy things.

3. I've also tried to replace the RX/Servo before with no effect.

4. I also replaced the XTAL in both TX/RX with no effect.

Thanks for the reply,i should have opened those suckers up but i think it was a blessing in disguise.I picked up the ino-labs digitals and they are awesome.Fast,quiet and hold center great.

I've been having an intermitten issue with my 4G6 servos... sometimes, when I bind the heli, the servos move like a "robot"... sharp, quick, jumpy,jerky movements from point to point. Picture if you were acting like a robot... that is the way the servos move! I unplug the heli, turn the TX off, then on again, and rebind the heli... and it is back to smooth operating servos... strange... It has happened a few times now and I actually have to inspect the servos for smooth movements before every flight. Strange!
