Default RE: Interference

Just recently I almost lost my old faithful GP Big Stick 60, G20 powered model from what proved to be an intermittently defective Rx. After a successful initial flight of the day the model suddenly went beserk right on takeoff on it's second flight and only the angels on duty saved it from certain rekitting as I lost all control as the model dropped it's left wing and headed for terra firma. I regained limited control with less than 30' of altitude and was able to make a quick and uneventful landing. An immediate check revealed that all the control surfaces were jumping around like crazy with commands from the Tx having very little if any effect. Talk about a close shave .... that was certaintly one.
