Michael G.,

Thank you for adding the part about NOT using a PCM receiver at the moment. Far too many people use one from the first day they start a new model and wonder why they lose the plane a few flights later due to "interference". Usually it was there all the time at a small enough level where the PCM receiver would reject it and not "fail safe" long enough to be noticed. Once it became bad enough they usually "fail safe" into the dirt.

Always use a standard, or FM receiver to check for RFI issues prior to installing a PCM receiver. Do not install a PCM receiver untill ALL RFI issues have been resolved using the standard receiver. Yep, it takes a little longer and a bit more effort to do it this way but you get to keep your plane a lot longer.
