Thank you all for the suggestions. They are very much appreciated. The antenna's were 90 degrees to each other and not near any carbon. The receiver was in normal mode.
The regulator was a smart fly ignition 5.2 volt unit which I took out of my YS 170 Aries. It was used for the receiver and servos and always ran cool. I'm using it now in my
test plane Venus 40, YS 110 (Fun airplane, thanks Steve K)
Steve, I think you are right, it didn't go into fail safe, just long glitches. I tend to agree with Jim. The problem is with my cable routing and lack of a filter.
Once I get it going again I will test it on the ground many many times before I put it in the air.

If it didn't go into failsafe, this would indicate a power issue, not an interference issue. If you are getting noise, then it should've gone into failsafe.
