Thanks for the input so far........ I was able to think alot about my problem today As I had some kids on a field trip, so not much else to do.

I do beleive it is some RF interfierence from the power cord for the glo igniter. I thought through how my other hulls are set up, in relation to motor placement and radio placement. All my hulls are set up with the radio gear in front of and away from the engine. My monokote project hull has the gear placed JUST in front of the engine, and I do get some jittering when the igniter is attached, but not major and livable to get the engine startted.

However, on this hull, the entire radio gear is positioned UNDER the engine pod.

I also race 1/10 scale touring cars and know a lot of major as well as minor causes of RF interfeience. Battery wires being too close to the antenna OR the RX crystal is a big one people don't think about. What has been proven to work, believe it or not, is to wrap the RX in aluminum foil. This acts to shield the RX from the RF. Something I'll have to try before I have to tear the hull apart and built a new radio compartment.

There is some jittering of the servos which I credit to the proximity of all the moving parts and such. But once I connect the glo plug, I think the RF from the power cord of the igniter, somehow blocks all signal. What is weird, is that just disconnecting the igniter does nothing to restore the radio control. I have to either remove the crystal and re-insert it, or unplug the switch from the RX and plug it back in for the radio to work again.

Believe me when I say this is a pain to accomplish dur to the locatio of the radio gear and what all has to be removed in order to get to it. (bad planning on my part)

I'will take the recommendation and place a post to the radio service forum and see what those guys have to say.
