CDI Interference
 

Hey guys....I've got a problem with my newly installed engine Zenoah G26 with CDI....I'm having glitzes on my servos while running the motor. I using a 40 mhz receiver on my plane and using a 4.8v 2,400mAh nicad batteries on my CDI. I located the CDI box on the front section at the back of the firewall while the battery located near it. The control receiver is located at the middle of the fuselage together with it's batteries. If you guys have encountered the same problem and has corrected it please let me know what
you have done. Thanks a lot.

komustaka? mabute'?

what push rod do u use for the TH servo?
usually when u use a metal one than RF noise can interupt the RX signal.
try to seperate the TH servo lead wire from any other harnes if ever
u can try using a ferrit ring on the TH wire to filter any Rf noise

hi...Dan Thanks a lot I have already fixed the problem. I changed the throttle pushrod from steel wire to nylon push rod and works
okey. I also checked the sparkplug cap that was a little bit loose. Snapped it to place and the problem was gone. Thanks to you guys.
