RE: Hitec servos and Spektrum
The only thing I can think of that you did not mention is weather or not you used mix 5 or 6? reason being that these are the only 2 mixes that have the trim working both the master and slave channel. The other mixes may be getting weird with 100% mix value not having the combined trim feature. Other then that a phone call to both Horizon and Hitec would be my next move.
