Has this ever happen to someone? O.K. this is what is going on. When the servo is at center it has a jitter problem but when you move the stick left or right the jitter goes away. I talk with a futaba tech and they said they had no clue what I was talking about. I want to see if someone here know or had the same problems so that I could fix it here. I have missed with the gain and the limit to see if that would help but it didn't.

Thanks

It probably a sensor mounting problem but when you say you "messed with the gain and limit" do you mean the pots on top of the gyro because there is no gain pot on the 401 its adjusted through the transmitter.

What mode is the gyro in? (whats the light doing)

How much gain?

What servo are you using?

My mistake I meant the delay. I didn't have the gyro in front of me. I'm using the futaba 9z and I have the atv set at A-65, B-75. I have the futaba GY401 and I'm using the 9650 servo. I have tried different servos in digital and no digital and get the same thing. I have also used my 9c and still get the jitter.

Well with that servo the delay should be zero and the limit set for as much throw as you can get in either direction and DS mode ON.

What helicopter we talking here?

If it's jittering hard, and heating the servo up, it's a defective gyro. Had two in the past month.
Futaba will replace it if you provide a receipt.
