Default RE: speed freak qualifier?

Hello HighPlains.
Ok I measured the plane and here it is: WS=54"; Fuse=50"; Horizontal=18" and Rudder is 6"high. Now the concentric brass tubes are old school but they worked back when. With the new 2.4 tx I assume that you will not have any interference problems. When Bill Cuningham flew it (around 1992 I think) there were no interference problems. I built another scratch build using the same technique and flew it and had no apparent problems. However I now have interference such that all the controlled surfaces begin to flutter. So I either buy me a 2.4 tx or use an optical isolator gismo to remove the problem. I still like the idea of not having control horns and parts of the servos out in the airstream. But if you have any suggestions I would like to hear from you.
