I am having massive interference problems on My 450 heli. 1st flight went up 5 feet and started jumping around and slammed it yesterday pretty hard.

This is a New problem as I have been flying it fine with a little chatter when the battery starts to go down a tad.

Recent changes made are, added an align 3500 to get rid of the poor aftermarket brushless that was in it. Carbon tails, carbon paddles. I have the antenna doubled back a little in the fuse and then goes out a plastic tube up the metal tail brace and then to the back around the tail in Fuel tubing and hangs down 3 inches.

Can I get interference from the Carbon tail blades, Tail boom, boom mounts - wire to close to the Motor????

Also any ideas on routing the Antenna would be beneficial. Im trying to get this situated before I seriously have a dangerous situation.
See pics. See any problems??

Thanks for the assistance

[]what is that balled up mess in the center of your heli ? The servo wire's wrapped around your antenna , is asking for trouble .
also you might try a ferite ring on your esc, just before it plug's into the receiver.

PTB - The ferrite ring on the ESC is a great Idea. I' ll give that ago and see. Now as far as the Antenna wire and the question of Carbon fiber causing interference and how I have the antenna ran - could that be an issue -

SO my assumption is Ball up Mess... is a bad omen and can cause an issue with the antenna wire. Please show me a picture of your leads install and how you resolve the long lead issue and I'll change it. Ill start there though!!
I am still routing wires trying to find out the interference problems.

Appreciate the assitance.

I would suggest that you shorten the servo leads to the receiver to remove all of the "balled up mess". It's the best thing to do and will make the heli look cleaner and remove interference. If you don't want to do that then ball up each individual servo wire away from the receiver and attach to frame.

Well, went to the local radio shack - Picked up a Ferrite ring. Got that on the Speed control right before it goes into the receiver. Took the rudder servo and "coiled" the wire and had it go to the other side, reducing that length. Remaining wires behind the frame above the gyro.
Took fuel tubing and have that inside the frame for the antenna to pass through so it is not touching any metal inside and re-routed it out.
Coiled it around the antenna tube to reduce length and then pass-through to the back again.
Cleaner now.
Took it out in the driveway and hovered with no apparent interference problems.

Thanks for the help.
