that sounds l a little strange.
I use a variety of servos in my planes.
Now I have noticed that the analog servos don’t like a lot of voltage and the digital servos like more then you can supply. But with the advent of all these LiFe batteries I believe the old analog service can’t handle that extra .6 V vary while. Also servo chatter can be caused on two different fields one the servo is super sensitive and is always centering or two the servo was a real piece of crap and doesn’t center very well and chatters. But what you have brought up I have never heard before and I use that combination all the time. Also I guess we shell keep an ear out to here what the new radio glitch problem is for why my plane crashed.

but I forgot to say that the analog throttle servos in question were haunting the throttle up and down so the RPM were not constant, it sounds as the throttle stick was being pumped up/down/up/down. this happened on landings and climb outs.
as for me I used analog and digitals together on many flights and not have a problem.
thanks for your input !!

I must admit I have never used digital servos. I don't fly high performance aircraft and I was lucky enough to get a large lot of analog servos from a friend who had a windfall and spent some of it on putting all digital servos in his airplanes. That's right I'm cheap, tighter than bark on a tree!

If you have bad leads I could see it happening. I remember back in the day when I was a wet behind the ears kid doing my own mechanical work on my 64 International P/U to fix a miss. The plug wires were bad and the spark would arc between two of them where they cross. Which leads me to the bad lead comment. Ah you never forget your first vehicle or the nightmares it caused!!!

You know it was a good cleansing shock when you have to dry yourself off. 
One day I had gone out to check the water in the horse trough. I leaned between the fence tape, had my hand on the metal trough and my thigh just barely touched the lower tape. Have any idea what kind of pain a 100 mile fence charger used on less than 1 mile of tape produces when laid across the thigh? I had a WELT! Needless to say, I avoid doing dumb crap like that anymore.

Its education for sure! I remember one of my high school buddies use to stick wires under a couple of plug wires and drop them in the water to shock fish. I don't remember if he caught much.

Ever seen a horse fly? I did, flew about a foot straight up when he touched his nose to the tape. Then he stood there wide eyed wondering ***? Then, he did it again. Never went to the fence again after that. LOL

Had a van once that had a miss. Put a new coil on it got worse.
So frustration got the better of me, so I backed it outside and went to shut it off looked under the hood one more time and looked like a light show during the Fourth of July. Welcome to the world of high Energy electron Ignition and cheap plug wires

Coil failures are very rare compared to plug wires breaking down. Wide plug gaps can actually cause insulation breakdown at just about any weak point in the system.

The 182 is an odd fire engine. First cylinder fires, crank rolls 180 degrees, second cylinder fires. Crank now turns 540 to fire #1 and begin next cycle. This is unlike the even fire, boxer type that fires every 360 degrees, it can fire both cylinders together with a waste spark on the opposing cylinder.

aa, don't worry about that one, cause I just watch a video last night and these guys were putting a 10-71 blower on a huge 1,100 HP Chevy BB and the ding-dongs had put the distributor in 180% off LOL, plus they had that 6,000 blower setting on cardboard on the dusty floor.... crazy
