I have a strange glitch that happens every once in a while. I'm flying a Vibe 50 with 8717's on straight 2s lipo voltage. The left side servo will pump three times in an instant. None of the other servos do it. I've seen it on the ground sitting on the table and it's happened a couple times in the air. It scares the hell out of me. Acts as if I slam left aileron three times as fast as I can. I just replaced the servo thinking that's got to be the problem. While setting it back up with the new servo....bump, bump, bump, it happened right there on my work bench. So now I'm back to scratching my head. I'm trying to figure out what's triggering it, but I can't reproduce it at will.

BTW, I also fly airplanes and have never had this occur on them.

Anyone have any ideas?

Does it appear to be similar to this?

Yes, it sounds like that may be the same situation. I've been looking all over this forum for similar accounts.

My 8717 did this a couple of times on the bench as well, I've never noticed it in flight though
