Default Servo amplifiers on long leads?

Thanks for all of the info. I have been doing some testing with another reciever and I think this might be the problem. I started by ranging testing the plane. Everything was fine at about 50' as I walked further away then things started to act up. It was not constant interferance, but definately noticable. I still had control but when I left the sticks at neutral, this is where I could see the surfaces start to "glitch". I walked out to about 100' and put the radio standing up on a table and walked back to the plane. The control surfaces would start bouncing around aggressively and then stop. I put another FM reciever and did the same test without any problems. I also discovered that the Y-harness from my elevator servos called a "Miracle-Y" has a built in choke/amplifier which is very close to my reciever. I will do more testing to see if this "Miracle-Y" has any affect on either reciever. I will definately change recievers, but I also would like to see if this Y connector has any affect while range testing. Will let you know what I find. Also I would appreciate any suggestions on what distance is acceptable when range checking your plane. Thanks for all of the help guys! :idea:
