I have had this problem and fixed it by running the base of the "Y" cable through a ferite bead (one turn) to choke off the RF. This worked with an airtronics receiver. When I install servos in the wings of my gliders I go ahead and put the ferrite bead in every installation and have not had any problems since. If your Futaba has a DSC cable (connects transmitter to receiver, for running servos without the RF deck installed, neat feature found on JR X347 and other radios), then use it to determine if it is radio interference or some other problem. I am not familiar with coreless servos, and why they may be more susceptible to noise. Have you tried connecting any other servos to this "Y" cable and see if the problem goes away?
