RE: Getting the Reciever and Plane in tact.
Bruce is correct.
I've seen, first hand, engine generated noise affect the receivers, as the engine RF is being picked up by the pushrods.
This blankets the RX antenna, causing glitches.
It drove me nuts until someone pointed the problem out to me.
Change the intersection angle or route the antenna away from the metal pushrods and the problem goes away.
