Default RE: Throttle flutter with motor running, radio on

ok so two metal parts intermittantly touching is touted as a source of RC EMI fact.

Please explain how two non electrically charged components are able to create this EMI that caused glitching in an electrically isolated application like a glow engine.

on Electric planes we have a huge source of EMI yet that does not affect normal functioning servo's.

yet it is claimed on glow engines with no electrical circuit between the engine crank case and the servo that the intermittent touching between throttle control rod and carb actuator arm is a source of EMI... I'm really struggling to see how rubbing two non charged pieces of metal together creates enough static electricity to glitch a servo that has an electric motor inside with much higher EMI.

I would like a better answer than metal to metal causes glitching. Thats non sense because if true it would happen on every single rc airplane and it simply does not.
