Default RE: Surprising source of radio interference

Really, I was involved behind the scenes in Reno racing before 2.4ghz was introduced and they all flew on 72mhz. The only radios that failed were Hitec and I'm not talking about their servos. I'll say it again its all about dollars invested and how your electronics are installed. I mentioned leads in my last post and discovered this due to what I though were malfunctioning elevator servos. Our company built an erial target with a fuselage length of sixteen feet. the length of the elevator servo leads were about ten feet. The problem was traced to a voltage drop because of the long leads. We made our own leads using pure cooper strands. I don't remeber the gauge but it sloved the problem. Most models don't no anything about electronics and there operation and blame the equipment as being the culprit when in reality it's there own stupidity. Nothing is perfect and you usually pay for what you get. Is an O.S. engine the same as an ASP?
