e-Lite Machines Corona > Servo gone bad??

I'm having a one step forward - two steps back kind of week.

I spent this past weekend (rain both days) reading the Corona care and feeding book that comes with the kit. I made some headway in eliminating vibration and did a cleaning on my brushed motor. I balanced the rotor head and blades the best I possibly could. I flew the bird this morning and it was smooth spinning, but all over the place. My channel 1 servo moves on it's own, it won't stay centered. Besides stripping the nylons gears in some minor crashes, I don't see how I've done anything to damage it. I'm using Hitec HS81's that I upgraded to metal gears. Do they go bad randomly? I had to change one out for my tail rotor control because it did the same thing...

I'll change my channel 1 servo and see if it's flies steadier or not...

Out of about 12 HS81 servos , four or five I've had have become jittery , usually around the centre of travel . I assume it is the pots wearing out .

At the end of the day , it gets dark .

Send them in and Hitec will repair them at no charge if they are less than 2-years old.
