Default Servo sticking in center

Hi there,

I have a Goldwing MX2 58" which now has 120 flights on it..

The elevator has a fairly cheap spektrum digital servo on it. When I first turn on, radio binds, I test all servos, and the elevator seems to hesitate (doesn't even move) then after a wiggle on the stick, shoots to life, and then works fine.......

Haven't flown it since I saw this, and can't get it to repeat itself... do servos do this when the potentimeter track is worn around the center point?

Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a common problem? Could it be the radio or tx? For the life of me cannot get it to do it again.... but for sure its done it today, and I thought I saw it last time I flew as well, but thought I was imagining it!

120 flights, its done say 12 hours of flying... do servos wear out that quick?

Any suggestions welcome!
