Okay I've found another problem with this plane- the ESC is also garbage. It doesnt seem to have enough power to run all of the servos. After I replaced all servos I powered it up and noticed they were chattering and twitching, just like you see with low batt voltage. I checked my batt to confirm it had a good charge and sure enough, it did.So then i disconnected the stock ESC form the rx and used a seperate rx batt pack, problem solved!

So now i wonder if the original servos are all that bad or if they were simply underpowered by the stock ESC. Hmmmm. <br type="_moz" />
