If distancing the rx from the electronics in the plane make your problems go away, you know a couple different things. either A. if possible you need to move the receiver way out of the way of all of the other electronics, or B. you need to upgrade to the 2.4 system.
I didn't take the reply as unappreciative I totally understand your frustration!
One way or the other I'm sure you'll get this model squared away, your doing the right thing by asking for advice and working to get the issues ironed out!
I appreciate that. I was at a loss and had no choice but to ask for help. Deep down somewhere in the dark portions of my brain I think I knew I was going to have to upgrade to 2.4Ghz but just didn't want to admit it. There really isn't an easy way to separate the receiver from everything so.... I am just going to assume it's the radio, set the model aside for a bit and start shopping. I did find this one the other day:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/radiolink-at...item5d62ccfad2 but I don't know much about Radiolink personally. I am reading good things about it online and the price is fantastic. Unfortunately I barely know enough about current radios to be dangerous. Any ideas?
