home yesterday. I plugged in another receiver and got the same centering
offset. I also noted the servos seamed to hunt a little (intermittently)
between beeping the trims, classic bad servo pot symptoms. I remember when we
had to clean them several times a season. I don't know if you can clean them
anymore, in any case it isn't worth doing on a $35 servo. By the time the
electronics have a problem the gears are loose also.<u7:p></u7:p></span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

It could be a good pot that has slipped. This is very common.
Futaba even went to metal straps to help stop this. Pots that are bad
usually have dirty control, or a tight shaft. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font><u7:p></u7:p><o:p></o:p></p>
