Default RE: Single servo glitch with engine running

Don, good troubleshooting technique! Now that you mention it, I have servo glitching when my radio is too close to the receiver. The glitching occurs on PPM mode only. When I'm in QPCM mode (Hitec Eclipse 7 Radio), I don't get any glitching. As you say, when my radio is very close to the receiver (PPM mode only), the smallest amount of metal to metal movement (like moving my glow igniter on my plane stand), causes glitching. The glitching happens when the engine is both running and stopped, but is worse when the engine is running. The glitching seems to affect all of the servos and isn't limited to any specific servo. I wanted to add that my field stand is aluminum. Not a very good choice, however I'm am getting a wooden field stand in the next few days.
