...it starts to glitch like the servo is hitting something and then it starts spinning around. Since I am new to this hobby is this normal when battery wears down or do I need to adjust something. Thanks
Hey meaves,
Yes. Michael is great. I buy things from him all the time even though he is on the other side of the world from me - he is that good!
This is not a normal occurance as the battery get low - I have never heard of this before! The servo is making fast sudden movements then hitting the stop at the end of its throw resulting in spinning?? I would say @ <$10 each, REPLACE THE SERVO!
They are cheap [link=http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=745&osCsid=5 a11b2b0f21394820e8233f339e16bfb]EK2-508 Servo[/link] EMAIL MICHAEL FIRST AND TELL HIM SYMPTOMS - HE MAY SEND YOU ONE FOR FREE!!
They are a plug & play sort of deal anyway - no soldering irons needed!
To help you with this any further we all have to know a bit more about the "glitch". Which way is it spinning? (CW or CCW) How fast is it spinning? Does the servo reach this hard endpoint when heli is in your hand - which servo "Aileron (Port) or Elevator (Starboard) is doing the glitching?[8D]
We will have your Big Lama up & flying again in no time.[sm=wink_smile.gif]

P.S. Are you unplugging heli battery THEN switching off Tx - this is the correct order - very important!
