Sounds like a stripped servo horn or gear. Looking at the video, I would have a closer look at your elevator servo, maybe check them all. It doesn't sound like binding, it sounds like something is stripped.

If it is a stripped servo, just ask them for a new servo (it's easy to change a servo).

ok thanks, I also noticed that when i spool up the bird wants to pitch left, is this because the blades when stopped flop to the left, and i have to adjust the weight.

even if i scoot across the floor, in the gymnasium at the school where i work, it still wants to go counter clock wise, Any way today i broke a blade tip and the main motor took a crap. I called up and told them about the servo and the motor, they said they would send them out. What are the dip switches for on the tx and the black button?
