Anyone seen glitches due to the thottle servo being mounted close by design to the ignition modual?I seem to get intermitant issues when engine is runing only. DA 50 being used. Noticed it visualy while cowl off setting needles for new Vess prop tyout. It seems to have gotten better since eleimating a sevo extention and changing the servo. I am using a5645..but have a metal aluminum control arm on it. I have ordered a 5625 for speed and intend to use a nylon arm. The rod is carbon with 40/40 ball links on each end. Anyone have to move the servo back into the body/??? Which will prove difficult. I just need it to reponded when I want it to. I already lost one due to another issue.
Thanks,
Gregg

If you're seeing glitches... be SURE to get them under control, at any throttle setting, before you let this thing in the air! I had a similar problem on an AW 90-120 yak, thought I had it fixed, and found out the hard way that I was wrong. It turned out to be a bad ignition module, emitting too much RFI, but it cost me a plane to find that out.
If you're still running 72MHz, be absolutely sure to eliminate any interference... If your throttle servo is less than a foot from the ignition module... move it back! That plane's got plenty of room to mount the servo back, and you can use nyrod to get to the motor.
