Connect the rudder servo to the elevator port in the Rx and try.
If rudder servo also misbehaves, your Tx pot may benefit from a shot of WD40.

That's a lovely Piper Cub. Why don't you post some details and pics?

Thanks for the quick reply, I think wd40 should solve the issue.There is white rust on the rx pins that which I overlooked.
I would be shortly posting the build. A few more work left like stickers and electronics.

Please don't use WD40 in pot it will destroy the pot ,instead use alcohol base any cleaner .

I used WD 40 with a brush on the ports and the jittering is gone. But later  found out that the residue is not good for electronics,so i cleaned it with iso alcohol. Issue is solved but hoping it won't damage the reciver 🤞😌
