Default RE: engine generated interferance on 2.4

Hello, from reading all the postings, I was if anyone has experienced this problem.

I recently built a 1/4 scale Nieuport 11 powered with a magneto equipped G23 gas engine. I installed an AR7000 2.4 Receiver with Hitec 625 servos all around. The radio and servos all set up and operate perfectly when the engine is not running. Upon starting and running the engine, the right aileron proceeds to rapidly twitch. The right aileron is in the Flaperon slaved position. All other servos work flawlessly. I replaced the servo with another Hitec servo and servo wire extension but it still occurs. I replaced the wire jumper connecting to the receiver itself and the servo wire extension, but the jittering still occurred. The on board battery was always outputting at least 5 volts during these tests. It was also noted that “jiggling“ the servo wires plugging into the receiver does also causes the problem. I reinserted the plugs assuming a loose plug, but the problem continues and appears even worse. I figured it might be a mechanical problem with the plug in the rx unit itself, but why would it only occur when the engine is running?

Any thoughts?
