Just an additional data point to what has already been replied, if you have a binding servo and the drain goes up, it may drop your battery voltage enough to compromise your receiver range. The battery may have plenty of capacity but, depending on the internal resistance, a high current drain may cause a low voltage excursion.
I've been using a data recorder recently and have been somewhat surprised at the voltage spikes when moving a bunch of servos all at once. Excursions of up to 0.75 volt are not uncommon. Usually, these are of very short duration. Normally, the Rx can handle this just fine but if a servo were jammed and drawing high current, it seems plausible that the voltage could drop more significantly and for a longer time which might compromise the Rx capability. I'd tend to believe the cycling data and look for a problem elsewhere. Especially if the current load when cycling is up there in the 500ma or so range. - Dave R PS - Re Bill M's concern about standings in the SW Classic, please be assured there is at least one pilot attending that will provide a morale boost. My priorities are (in order) fun, sun and not coming in dead last. However, that final objective is like a good sales pitch - the actual result is unobtainable. 1 or 2 out of 3 ain't gonna be bad.
