I have 5 new HT 81 servos and went to test them before I installed them in the plane. When I put my Futaba 9C in the servo test mode where it exercises the servos one of the 5 jumps noticeably especially when changing directions. It does not matter which channel it is attached to.--When I take it out of the test mode and just move the servo with the radio stick I do not notice the jumping. Does this mean that it is a bad servo and that it should be serviced or exchanged?

It's hard to say if the servo is bad since it seems to work ok when operated outside of the test mode. My gut feeling though is that since it consistently is erratic when in the test mode and the others are ok, that it might have a problem. If you would like to send it in for warranty, please feel free to do so.
