RE: 4 1/2 meter Ventus-2cx
Yes that's what I meant..
My first Multiplex Alpina was built with a central standard size servo in the fuse for the ailerons, as well as for the spoilers ( I bought it used, and it came that way ).
I later retrofitted individual servos for both the spoilers and the ailerons, and installed the wires untwisted.
And it had some glitching, nothing serious, but you could tell that something was not right.
At the time, a fellow club member suggested twisting the wires, which I did, and behold : no more glitching !
Since then, I always twist the long wires, and never had anymore problems with radio reception.

Michael,
Very interesting. Once again the theory on this subject is proven wrong. I tried this method in the distant past with no result at all.
So long as it all works in the end.
Good soaring,
John.

RE: 4 1/2 meter Ventus-2cx
I have a 3.35 meter Moebius Sailplane that has twitching issues.
Equipment Hitec SuperSlim receiver
Wing Servos are all HS125 slim wing
V-Tail are JS241's in the tails.
All lines are twisted from servo leads to receiver.
I have tried ferrite beads from Radio Shack with no luck.
Last range check with antenna down was 6 paces.
My primary (Allegro-Lite) I could walk 70 paces and still no twitching.
Any ideas?
I would really like to see this bird in the air....
Thanks,
Phil

I finally finished it! It did'nt take two years to build but two years to get to it. Once I got started it only took three weeks. It fly's better than any of my other 108" to 120" glass ships. Thanks to all for the help. No glitches and no problems. Absolutelly a fantastic "ferrari" of the sky's.
