Default Servos twitching on brand new mcpx
I got a new mcpx friday. My first one. I noticed with the first battery i plugged in that all 3the servos were constantly twitching while sitting on a flat surface. Is that normal? It flies perfect. No twitching at alk while hovering. Just curious. Its my first mcpx and never seen another in person. Thanks in advance!

all fbl helis do that to some degree, as long as its not visably twitching your blades or not moving through its range of travel relatively smoothly, its nothing to worry about.

Blade should put a warning about how servo chatter is normal inside the book. I went from a MSR to this and like just about everyone else, I was concerned that I had a broken MCPX out of the box... /memories
