Default Question about ignition interference on the electrical system

Originally posted by JLS
I am getting glitches in my radio system and am trying to figure out why. Ignition electronics are all at least 18 inches away from the reciever etc. .................... Also, I have the throttle servo mounted on the fire wall and the linkage consists of a ball link and a 2-56 steel rod. Will the nylon ball link and nylon clevis isolate the servo from interfereing with my system?
Thanks for any help

With the throttle servo mounted on the firewall, a good conductor of interference exist via the servo wire. With the servo right in the area of high ignition noise, the throttle linkage won't have much effect.

You can cure this two ways. Use one of the available optical isolators that use fiber optics for the link or move the servo into the center of the plane and use a nyrod type of connection.
