Default Question about ignition interference on the electrical system

Suggest you keep the ignition switch on or forward of the firewall. The receiver, servos and rest of the radio gear can be kept minimum at 12" for all sources of ignition. I always wrap the servo and switch wires with alluminum foil and had no interference problems.
Wrapping anything with aluminum foil does nothing unless one end of the foil is grounded. If it's not it acts like an antenna and actuall collects static.
