If you are using a voltage regulator, make sure you have it set to at least 6V. If you are not using a Regulator, bypass your switches, plug a 6.6V battery directly into the receiver and see if the problem still exists. You probably have a larger, more power hungry servo on the elevators than the other surfaces. When you move the elevators, it is draining the battery well below 6 V and that is why the GSU is acting that way. Let us know what you find.

Dirk, just wanted to let you know for full understanding,(and I know this is resolved) that a Power Box Mercury uses a soft switch, there should be no switch induced voltage drop on that setup.
