Default RE: RAM Beacon causes servo glitching; Help


ORIGINAL: GoNavy TFF: I'll try grounding the 9v with the ground for the receiver and servos.
I was surfing for information about grounding. This plane has a significant main landing gear consisting of 1/4 inch diameter steel rod and a large 3/16 inch thick aluminum backer. Query: Would it improve this to connect all the systems to the metal of the landing gear?
Keep all antenna and leads away from metal pushrods, LG etc.
Earth (ground) RCsystemy via the battery negative only, but keep beacons etc well
isolated from RCsystem, using opto switches or otherwise as in information available post #4.
Ferrite rings (aka "chokes") available from Jamara and Multiplex are as attached
