No, the glitch lasts only a fraction of a second and then resumes regular flight. It is almost like a hiccup or a stutter. It jumps and then returns to regular flight. The stutters don't last long enough to affect the flight of the plane.
There may be two or three stutters in a row, like bang, bang, bang, and then it is fine for several minutes, then it does it again. There appears not to be any pattern to the time between glitches or how many occur when it does jump.
At first, I thought it was a problem with a single plane, since there was only one that would jump, but later I got it to do it on several other planes. Then I thought it was a problem with the state of charge on the new tx, but it still does it with a fresh charge, and even when the tx is plugged into the charger.
Since it is a new tx and the weather here has been too windy to try it out, I am beginning to wonder if there is a problem with the tx. I guess I will take a real plane and let it set with both the tx and rx on for a few minutes and watch the servos to see if they jump.
I have the tx crystal removed so the tx does burn as much power. Could that be it????
If it isn't the tx it may be the cord which has some electronics in it. Maybe I will return the chord and get another one. Frustration!
