I'm new to electric flight and am running a brushless setup on a foamy. Every now and then I get glitches when flying.
I have moved the RX antenna out of the fuz and as far away from the esc as possible.

Is it worth pointing out that i'm using a single conversion RX for weight reasons.

Any other ideas?

Glitches are sometimes tough to hunt down, and there's no one solution. Manufacturing variances, can sometimes produce a receiver that's particularly sensitive, or a servo/ESC that's out of spec and producing an unusual amount or RF noise. There's always plain old defective or failed components. It can literally happen any time, anywhere...

The first thing to try is to rearrange components. I'm thinking about the arrangements on my electrics, and generally speaking, the motor, ESC and battery are in front, while the receiver is located well behind... Nary the two shall meet.

It can also come down to where you are flying...

any high intensity power lines or something similar near by??



Heck, I have a buddy whos system glitches when it is cold, but not when it is warm! We tell him his plane is just shivering!

David,

Our favorite way to eliminate glitches when weight is a concern is to use the M5 receiver from [link=https://www.fmadirect.com/site/home.htm]FMA Direct[/link]. It is a full strength dual conversion receiver that weighs only 0.3oz. (8.5 grams).
