I think I have a bad servo, but I'm not 100% sure. I started having problems yesterday. I first noticed that on of the blades would start twitching right after I plugged in the battery. It seems to correct itself after I got in the air though and it wasn't consistently doing. Then later I went to take off and it shot to the left hard and crashed.. I noticed the right front servo was pinned at the top and was no longer responding to cyclic control. I tried rebinding it a couple of time and eventually it seemed to fix itself. The a couple of flights later, same problem. Eventually I ended up taking the servo off and cleaning it. That seemed to fix it. I flew it this morning fine for 5 batteries. On around the 6th, same problem. So I swapped the left and right plugs on the 3 in 1 and the problem remained with the right servo. I took it apart and cleaned again. No help this time. Tried rebinding for the heck of it and still it is pinned to the top.
I'm about to order a new servo, but It's only a little over 2 weeks old. I have flown it quite a bit though. Is there anything else it could be? Is this a common problem or did I just get a bad on. The contact strip on the servo pcb did seem worn pretty well but I would think they are designed to last longer then a couple of weeks.
