Default Bad Batch of Futaba 3004's???

OK:
Got my H9 P51 up in May.
Used a new set of 5 futaba 3004
on everything.
8Uafs driving the Hitec RX.
Three weeks ago at fuel up and flight control check list
found the right AIL servo wouldn't center and moved slow.
Changed her out for another 3004.
Sunday last, charged the gal, fueled up and checked
the flgiht control services as I do.
ELE servo 'flips' as it TRYS to center,
Port AIL now no workie!
Changed out for S-148 at local hobby shop.
Charged, fueled, check list again!
Now the Starboard 3004 that I just replaced 3 weeks ago
is moving slow and is having trouble centering! (Brand new
only 3 flights on that servo!) Dirty pots most likely.
I got a new s-148 from LHS and she check lists fine now.
Airborne all day Sunday Pm, no problems.
WhatZ up with this?
HH
Ann Marie, I'll be right over with a complaint!.......... :stupid:

HH, sounds to me like too much load for the servos...are you running 6V? how large is the aircraft? how large are the surfaces?
