Hello everyone.
I´ve been flying with my converted Mitsubishi 33cc for a while experiencing some intereference with the Rx every flight at the same moments. Take off and landings
I´m flying with an FM 72 MHz Futaba 8 channel Receiver
I noticed that every time when I take off, there was a glitch which takes the throtle down and move the ailerons but it was quick and the plane goes on flying OK.
As well every time I came on the final approach and take throtle down the plane glitch specially with the ailerons (doesn´t happen if i do a low pass at full throtle)
I have my Rx and Battteries some 14 inches distance from the magneto
Throtle is instaled with a steel pushrod inside a rigid plastic tube with a plastic ball link to the carb and an EZ connector to the servo
Please give me a hand on what can I do.....I crashed my plane this last weekend managing only to get the landing ripped off and some minor damages.
Thanks everyone.

Does your metal throttle pushrod go near your RX?
Try a Sullivan plastic pushrod on your throttle. Even W/a plastic ball link the metal rod could be picking up RF & causing the glitch @ a certain throttle (rod) position. It might be less likely W/EI, but your magneto magnets spinning near the metal push rod might be doing something strange.
As long as you support the outer platic tube near the ends, the Sullivan plastic pusrods are plenty stiff for a throttle application. No chance of conducting RF either.
