Ill start with the engine, then my radio problem after.

The engine actuially is fine, I got some soapy water and went over all the gaskets, no leaks at all! I think it might just be the piston ring really. I put in a new plug, cut the cowl out to fit the engine (that flywheel made me butcher a LOT of cowl in order for it to fit!), and now besides a tank its ready to go! I hope to start soon!

Okay, my radio problem. I have two transmitters, a 7CAP and a SkySport 4 that came with my origional trainer. I have 5 recievers, three Futaba R127DF's, a Hitec micro 555, and a Hitec Supreme. This started back in July, I would range check my airplane and after walking back about 10 feet, the servos would start to chatter, throw surfaces, and finially the plane would turn off. I tried this with both transmitters and all 5 recievers and it happened to all of them. I switched between 3 different batteries, all of them new, still the same thing. This happens both inside and outside the airframe. I sent everything into Radio South, a radio repair place, and they claimed everything was fixed. Well sure enough everything was exactially the same as it was before. I sent it to them again under warranty, and recieved a call saying "your Futaba recievers are hypersensative but everything else is fine" which was not the case as everything was still broken. Now Ive been without flying for about half a year, and its all due to this problem. Im thinking about sending everything to Futaba and Hitec for them to fix. Its just odd that every piece of radio equipment I have went bad literally overnight. I even tried switching transmitters with a buddy of mine, and his plane chattered with my transmitter and my plane chattered with his, but his plane was and is perfectly fine. It really points nowhere as far as where to look to see the source of the problem. Im just going to send everything in, hopefully Ill have better luck this time.
