Servo failure? (Big Predator)

Hi there, heres a brain teaser:

went to fly my big Predator today and the throttle servo keeps going to idle/cut off after 30 seconds...I tested it a few times....hovering and shut down....the problem showed itself while I was hovering close to myself....the throttle arm just moved and the heli would go into autorotation....of sorts...the were low level autos

the servo is a futaba 3003...its a cheapo servo....would this be the problem?

I have yet to find a spare servo to plug and try out....I was lucky because after a hovering session I usually blast around the sky....the ground I fly on is fine...but the surrounding area is not forgiving to autoing helicopters

Any ideas?

Rob
