Flylites causing servo interference
 
Hi all I am hearing one of my servos kinda buzz when ever the Flylites are turned on. Its a CX2 and I tried moving the lite cable down to the skids but its still making noise. Any idea how to stop this from happening? The heli is flying fine just don't like the sound of the servo buzzing, makes me nervous, lol.

sounds like its getting bound up on something. do you get full forward/back /side to side?? if not then it sounds like maybe the servo is messed up...

Yep still have full range of motion and they respond fine to inputs, it just makes a noise whenever the lites are turned on.

My digital servo's in my 1/10th scale race buggies buz a lot trying to find center. Your lights might be taking just enough electricity from your servo to make them lose center a tiny bit. If there are no other problems I wouldn't worry about it. If you are still concerned then put a very small resistor in the negative wire feeding the lights. This should solve the problem. LED's can run on very little voltage but can pull a whole bunch if it is fed to them.
