Default Lagging Servo?

Hey Guys.. Just noticed this, and I thought I would throw is out there.

28% Extra 300 (not that it matters)
6v 4700mah nimh battery
JR 921 receiver
JR x9303 Radio
Hitec 5945 on the elevator halves.

In flight mode one and two the elevators are spot on:

Problem is If i give full up elevator in full rates, and then emmediatly full down elevator, the right side elevator half lags behind. Its noticable visually which is why I am concerned. This happens when the battery has a full charge or done for the day. doesnt matter the voltage. I inspected the servo wire and extentions, and there is no pulls or frays. The connectors are okay as well..

Has anyone seen this?

I may want to add that my buddy came over and programmed the servo's with his hitec programmer, so possibly he may have slowed down the servo a bit, but that would be visual on any rate that I have set.

I am going to swap the channel input on the receiver too see if the lag moves to the other elevator while at the field today. I am VERY RARELY in full rates other than a elevator or flat spin, and the plane will hover in the second flight mode, but I am concerned.

Any info would be appreciated.
