How close was the transmitter to the receiver when this was happening??? were the batteries on your radio fully charged? things like this can happen when the transmitter is sitting right next receiver, especially with fully charged batteries. The transmitter is simply overpowering the receiver and causing it to go crazy. If it doesn't happen after you a few feet away from the plane then you should be ok. But if you are holding the transmitter in one hand and holding the plane as well you could be overpowering it.

Thanks Ken, thats most likely what it is. Being an old electric rc car racer, my batteries are not only charged, I peak them! I have had these electronics in another plane and never had this problem though. I'm a little worried that this could be a safety issue and do you think I should change out the RX and servo, and maybe re-route the RX antennea anyway?

Thanks for yalls help. I allmost ran the plane into myself today. I can replace the plane, I don't want anybody getting hurt.

Edit: BTW, it only happens when the engine is running. It will not do it without the engine running. Does this mean something?
