Default RE: Getting shot down

Thanks for the information everyone,
the reason I say I was shot down, was once I recovered what was left of the plane I did
a range check, range was good, approx 150ft. with TX antenna down, and all servos
and clevises were still connected. Also as soon as the guy on channel 50 turned back
on his TX my plane servos went crazy! They jittered and moved back and forth on
their own. Perhaps his TX has a problem, I often fly with guys on channels 40 and 46
and have never even experienced any type of servo jittering.

As for the interference from an airport or construction site, the place I fly at is approx.
30-35 minutes doing 60mph away from an airport, also no construction sites around.
Closest thing that could have cost that is an telephone tower a few miles away but that
had been mostly disassembled because of damage done to it courtesy of Hurricane Jean.
I am flying on FM PPM I think, I am using a Futaba 6EXA TX. As for the RX batteries were
fresh, made sure they were charged and topped off before I went to the field, and this
was supposed to be my first flight of the day.


With that said I thank you for the information, and if anything else comes to mind I would
appreciate any more information available.
