Which LEDs flicker? The ones on the Rx, BEC, ESC or what else?

Because the servo when turned by hand will produce just enough power thru the rx to light your lights up.

This could be it. Turning the servo arm can make the motor inside the servo into a generator and back feeding circuits.

Sounds like it's the same principal as when you move your rig forward or backwards sometimes. Motor turns and generates just enough power to light up the rx or ESC lights.
