Intermittent jitter
I have started having intermittent jitter and it has caused one (heli) crash. Everything was working ok, one day (snow on the ground) my heli 'sat' down from a hover. Rx,Tx bat. ok. Next flight, crash. Everything back together now, I have noticed this jitter again while fueling (Tx was on) and once again in flight (again cold day). I have also seen this once in the house ?
All connections seem tight, wiggled them all and no jitter. I do have a voltwatch on a splitter sharing my tail servo/gyro (no unused channels).
Any ideas or should I just send the Rx in for a checkup ?

Try changing your crystals, might be vibration doing it.. try a range check with engine running to give vibrations. you said it was glitching when you fueled up, did you use a electric pump? maybe your Rx cant cope with interfearance now, maybe the front end signal rejection has gone down? i would try to get it to glitch, then change equipment till it stops. sending off in UK isnt worth it, Ripmax charge 25 quid just for looking at your stuff, and then add for repair, new Rx's are 22 quid... and my suspect ones get used in combat gliders
