Default RE: Range issue, could use some help

Scott, I'm actually 100% blown away and so pissed I don't know what to do. I bought another JR 10x brand new with a new module on a different channel. I bought a new 955 receiver.

I installed a whole new jet (Eurofighter), just finished it last night. Put all the new stuff in the airplane and same damn problem with all new stuff. I have never had a range issue on any airplane, and now I have two jets both with massive range failures.

Take the equipment out of the airplane, place teh receiver on a table with one servo in it no problem. Walk the receiver near the airplane and all kinds of jitters.

At this point, the only thing I'm willing to do is take the two jets to Austin and just ask people for their opinion on what to do. Because I'm clueless.

I have a Jetcat Titan and two Merlins, the only thing I have not done is install the titan into one of the airplanes because that's the only thing that is different from previous jets I've built. That being said, I can't say it has anything to do with the merlin because when I take the engine, ecu, and associated solenoids, propane etc out of the airplanes, I'm failing range still!

This is with receiver ant. outside the airplane and just taped to the side in differnet locations. So now I've tried two JR 10x's, and four different receivers, three channels and 1 JR 8103 radio digital trim aircraft version.

I'll be bringing everything I have to Austin Jet meet and anyone willing to help me figure this out, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!
