Default Glitchy/Twitchy Futaba Conquest radio system

I have a Stick 40 Plus with a Futaba Conquest 6 channel system (72 MHz band, FM) installed. It worked fine up until a couple weeks ago, when it got extremely glitchy and twitchy. For example: I touch the antenna, and ALL the servos move and twitch around. Or, I drum my fingers or tap on the Tx and the same thing happens with the servos. It doesn't matter if the antenna is extended or not, or how far the plane is, or if I'm close to any buildings. The Rx antenna is not knotted up; it's trailing freely behind the tail. Finally, both the Tx and Rx batteries are fully charged.
Probably dumb of me to try flying it, but I had a mild crash with the plane...I blame the servos.

But what really bothers me is that it was all fine before. As far as I know, nothing has been changed to any of the radio equipment, yet it goes crazy. What should I do??
