In some cases, it can directly affect servo operation. The whole back end of the receiver / decoder / servos certainly operates with very low freack to the early days quency signals that can easily be affected by spark noise. Our radios are systems and not just 2.4 GHz RF links. As Maxx has said, have seen it happen and is easily corrected when a loose cap is correctly installed. Likewise, on the old non shielded CH caps with separate ground wire .... let that ground wire get loose or break and watch what happens.
Yes we have had this discussion before.Lets go back to the early days RC. Zenoahs were a very popular engine. They were equipped with only a resistor spark plug. There was no shielding of any kind. I flew many A/C with a Zenoah with AM PPM, the most interference suceptable system available.
Yes the servo pulse can be affected by noise, but you must be using damn poor servos if it dont have proper bypass circuits to filter out any noise.
Also the servo pulse circuit is low impedance and will it take a large spike to show up..

Lets go b
