Default RE: RF Filter required?

Jim,

I haven't used a filter as of yet. I had "zero" problems up until I put together this Element. I am getting glitches quite often now. I just sent in all my equipment to Airtronics and got it back Friday. Took the Element out flying today and nearly lost her on the first flight. I started getting the glitches when I moved the esc forward under the motor at the front of the chin cowl opening (which was about 20 flights ago). I took some things apart tonight, and saw that the Esc to rec wire was chafing against the carbon fiber mount for the Esc and had broke through the shielding on the signal part of the wire (touching the carbon fiber). I'm wondering if this was my issue. I will test again tomorrow (well, today now).... I will also take some garbage bags just in case.. lol
