Im looking into a Technical explanation why this could occur, Ie is it Signal speed, Frame rate relaited etc. Be nice to understand it.

Ill let you know how we go
The h51b v1 is brushless
The v1 glitched on several radio brands the h51b v2 has different firmware and works great

I have 8 of the Blue Bird BLS-M52B V1 for sale and I guess they are junk. because they are V1 Still a nice servo and best servo I owned.
I run Futaba and Frsky and they are perfect.
I am not a Spectrum fan. So I take these servos are no good no more.
Oh well.
I talked to people that had V1 and are running good.
Anyone have these and are still going?
I run everything on direct 2s lipo too.never had any problems with any servo I owned.

compared to Futaba 9157's. Have not seen Futaba BLS 157's in operation and at $200+ with shipping doubt that I will. Check out the Blue Bird web site(bluebirdmodel.com). The CEO of the company has been a diehard pattern boy since the 70's. This servo brand has been out there for some time. They use Japanese parts such as smt boards, motors etc.. and are manufactured in Tiwan (same as Futaba).
interesting, I just picked up some BB to try

I'd like to share my testing and results regarding 2022-early 2023 GP Ignitions creating random 51/52 series servo twitching. Now resolved by both GP early 2023 and Blue Bird past 10-2023. If you have a compatibility issue regarding servo twitching with the engine running, refer to my video that includes my nearly six months of troubleshooting. I learned a lot during this process and hope to share that knowledge! Enjoy!
