8411SA oscillation

 I had the same problem last week. If you move the centering off to the rt or left and it stops oscilating, the problem more than  is likely bad gears, However if you change gears(easy to do) and that doesn't stop it then you have a worn feedback pot in the servo. (not easy to do). Send in for repair.

If I touch the rudder with my hand it will stop, and I can also stop it by moving the stick back and forth a couple of times very slowly. However, any quick moves of the rudder stick to center, or when the plane is first turned on will result in the oscillation.
