Default HITEC SERVO PROBLEM!!!

hi guys i just want you guys 2 know that i have bought 6 hs-5645mg brand new about a year ago i have used 2 of them on an airplane which was not crashed and the other 4 have been sitting on the shelf since about a couple of weeks ago since ive put them in a new plane. one day i is was ready to take a flight and was wiggling my ailerons which have the 5645mg's on them and one of them stayed at the last input for about 5 seconds when the transmitter stick was at neutral, i did this in lo rates and hi rates and did it intermediatly about almost every 2 or 3 inputs they would stay at last input for a few seconds so i went home and swapped them out for one of the other hitec 5645mg's laying around and after a couple of miutes of wiglling the ailerons back and forth they started to do it so i swapped them for another 5645mg i had laying around that was new and it did the same thing so i first thought it was my setup i took the 3 bad servos plugged them in different channels on my reciever, same thing, so i took a servo that i knew that was good and it worked fine on the channels i were using before. so i told my friend which has been flying for about 25years and is a full-time r/c flight instructor i mean he knows alot we used a different transmitter, seeing if it was my radio and that didnt change anything and he checked the gear trains he told me they were perfect, he even told me there was something wrong with the servos. i mean i have never dropped any of these servos or have done anything to them except i used 2 of them on a different plane but the others they were new so thats really wierd 3 out of 6 servos were bad i havent contacted hitec yet but i mean i am an hitec guy all of my planes have hitecs in them so that makes me think twice, Dean
