Honey Bee CP2 Stock 4 in 1, servo's, & TX 72 MHz. For some really odd reason the Helli gets a mind of its own for a second. It acts like there is interference and will just spaz out. Not as much of a problem if i have altitude to correct but this has actually made me crash during low ground maneuvers (broke skids and splintered some good blades). Anyone else had this problem with esky TX and Servo's? Or is their a fix i don't know about (besides upgrading to a better TX)? 
PS this happens in 3 different fields that i fly...

Have only just bought the same Heli but havent had that sort of problem, Although i did re-route the antenna cable before my first flight as it was all loose after shipping.Maybe this could be a problem ?

If it's an aluminum or carbon fibre boom that's probably the worst place to put it. They both will cause interference. The best way for routing antennas is to use an antenna tube, attach it to your skids, and then feed the antenna through it and let some of it dangle out. Trying letting your antenna hang in an out of the way spot (so it doesn't get caught up in the gears) and see if it solves your problem. If it does, the antenna tube is the best course of action. Winding, twisting or coiling your antenna will not only shorten range but make you more susceptible to interference. Same with running the antenna along anything metallic.
4in1 units are not known for having great ranges to begin with though, so keep that in mind.

Its a carbon boom... Ok guess i will re attach to my skids... I did have this happen once when i had the antenna attached to the skids too so maybe its a !QUOT!you get whatcha pay for!QUOT! on my electronics... I know its no where near as bad as my Buddy's Wallera but i have head others having problems with their 4 in 1's... I'll give it a whirl thanks!
