Tail twitches during hover

OK I have a newly built T-Rex 450SA 401 gyro and HDS-877 for tail servo. On the 401 I have it set to digital servo and delay set to 0. I have the limit pot set to where it does not bind anything.

If I pop off my tail servo rod I can manually move the slider nice and free with no sticking. When I am hovering, something is causing my rex to rudder hard about 45-90 deg then come back really quick. It happens a lot during a hover. It will do it maybe 6 or 7 times per min of flight. It is almost like a glitch but I am using a DX6 and AR6000 setup. It always goes the same way nose to the right, every time.

I noticed if I switch it to rate mode while i'm flying the twitch will not happen.

What can be causing this, any ideas?

I had a similar problem with a telebee gyro. My tail wouldn't kick that far, but it was still pretty significant. It also stopped when in rate mode, and didn't seem to do it in forward flight, but I was also learning still at that point and didn't do much for forward flight.

I replaced the telebee with a 401, and problem is gone.

Maybe you have a bad gyro???
