I checked the spark duration with my oscilloscope and an RCEXL ignition. Its far less than 1 ms.
Try with a poorly shielded, dirty, wet plug connection. i.e.; real world, not pristine on a bench in a lab. Ever see a dirty distributor cap on a V-8 at night? It can glow like St. Elmo's fire under the right conditions. As for such a condition being 'poor maintenance/preflight' practice, it happens.
I will look at the Ryder websit I looked. Its about truck OK I found the site. But would you provide a link? I dont want to spend all day looking thru that website
Oh, right. You can't be bothered doing a little research. That's OK, I'll do the work for you.
After an interminable 2-minute search:

I believe all radios, either FM/2.4 can be shot down, or suffer from interference no matter how much they harp on bullet proof, ect. If your flying 2.4 around power lines, or a huge amount of people your going down, or someone is. A phone, cell or land-line in the GHz range can cause problems. May not for some, but I've seen it.
Same thread:
The BMFA (UK insurance), have made an advisory to all UK clubs that mobile phones should be kept away from flight lines.

To put it very simply, if the noise level across the band of channels your 2.4gig system is flying on gets loud enough, your receiver won�t be able to decode its incoming data, regardless of its level of encryption or rejection.

It has nothing to do with the frequency we fly on, not even 2.4ghz is immune, it is radiated interference produced by cell phones that (COULD) not will, affect the electronic components inside the transmitter.
Can enyone honestly say they have not heard the speackers of a radio making a strange sound when a cell phone contacts the cell? it is electrical energy pure and simple. You may decide to just ignore the warnings, and never have an issue. But if ever an accident happens and it is down to this issue, will you be able to live with your conscience?
I m sorry about your head badass. How did you manage to pry it out of your---? I guess its time to leave when people start shouting and calling me names.
I don't see where anyone called you a name, yet your response to badazz is simply rude. IMO you owe him an apology.
Sticks and stones, old boy...,
