try setting your upper links to the middle of the axle about where the servo mounts. Edit: or just buy the Vertical Smile and send me the axles and I'll set it up for you  |

Sounds like a torque twist problem. Search for torque twist under seatrch button. Good luck.

Yeah... those upper links need to be triangulated. Torque twist is something completely different...

Try to lower your CG a bit. That will help.
