Servos chattering
Hello all,
Flying my Menace fun fly last night and started acting weird.
After landing noticed that ailerons chatter coming back to center. Rt. side is worse. Have Hitec 422 servos mounted. Moving control horns with rx turned off, the gears seem fine/smooth. Seems like a servo issue (not receiver) because the other controls are fine. Running a 4.8 volt 700 ma nicd. Had 5.1 volts still. Maybe I need higher tork servos?
Thanks for helping.

Servos
Sounds like your feed back pots are worn around neutral. Send em' back for service. If you could use a shock mounted engine your servo life will be increased several times. I use a Hyde mount with a YS 140-L on a pattern plane and I just had one pot go bad last week after almost 3 years of 5 flights a week.
