Sounds like the loose fan may have been your culprit with the radio interference the whole time. Metal to metal vibrations have been know to cause RF interference, so who knows. I had an enya fan and collet set up in my hands a few months back at Sheldons hobbies. They had placed their entire Hirobo parts selection up on Ebay stores for sale. Not sure if they still have any of those parts available but I'll take a look on ebay again.

Are you using a remote connection for your glow plug? If so it could be a broken wire, faulty ground, or as I have done once in the past, forgot to clip the wire back on the glow plug after replacing it.


Had some awesome flights with my Shuttle Plus this weekend. The OS .37 was running like a top! Beautiful California winter day of 83 degrees Brrrrrrrrrr (global warming and all).

Keep after it, your almost there.
