Default 550 tail twitch issue, not a wag or bob

I have a trex 550, which has been flying seamlessly for 6months or so... Lately, ive come across a twitch in the tail. As if it were signaling a low battery or something. My gyro is an align gp780. Is this temperature related, battery charge related, or what? Im not sure if i should go out and buy new batteries or adjust the gyro rate... It doesnt SEEM to make a positive difference if i change gyro or headspeed settings....

I havnt come across any other issues exactly like this, so ill upload a video if needed.

Thanks for bouncing ideas.



Ps, whats the max size vid i can upload here?

There could be any number of things causing the twitch but the first thing i would do is check to see if all is tightand secure andthe plugs are fully seated in the reciever and the second thing would be to try another servo before i start adjusting the gyro gain, especially if it was going fine before.

And check all the bearings and tail drive gear as well.
