Default Gp glitch

Thanks for the reply. Last night I ran the anntena wire outside of the fuse and tried moving the radio close and then away while touching a wrench on the motor fins and spinner. If I held the radio close (Futaba T6XA) with the anntena down i didn't glitch, but if i put the anntena up in the same position it would glitch.
I also tried swaping the futaba rx with a Hi-tech supreme with a futaba crystal and it worked the same.
I will try all range checks with the motor running and not running, so far when the engine is running everything seems ok (of course i'm not touching anything to the motor while it's running) I have also found an area where I can taxi the plane about 100yards.
Over the years I've flown alot of rc planes, but the Pitts is the plane that I've always wanted and seeing it get busted up would surely break my heart.
Thanks again,
Brent
