    Default Align DS510M servo play

    Hi All. I have DS510M servos on my 500 Pro. I was double checking all the links and noticed when powered up there seemed to be a lot of play in the servos. I uploaded a vid to youtube so you can see. Fairly close up so highlights the slack. Is this normal? I was lightly wiggling one of the blades and rotated it around a few times to check them all. I had a crash recently and had to replace one and rebuild another. They all appear to be fairly similar. Can you adjust this play out?

    Its normal, if you listen you can here the servo's buzz where there wanting to recentre, just checked mine & do the same, another way you could check is in dir mode then rocking heli to see if you have delayed slack, ive just done mine just to be sure & seem perfect.
