I've been searching everywhere for this stupid little problem. I have finished a TF Cessna 182 with the whole landing, stobe, nav, beacon light setup from RAM. All of the lights are tied together to 6 AA batteries and a switch except for the landing lights. The landing lights are powered by the reciever. WhenI tested the lights together with everything on, when the stobes flash the landing lights dim and bounce back. I also hear the servos making a funky noise. Iuse only futaba everything PCM9CH. Everything is perfect except for that problem. Do Ineed to wrap the Strobe box control unit with some sort of shielding? Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p>

I had a problem with the same unit but it would take a 9v battery from fully charged to dead in about 1-1/2 minutes. He gave me such a run around about returning them that I cut off the control unitand wired the lights into a RC switch and then into the gear channel so I can turn them all on or off in flight. I won't buy from Ram again. Just my 2 cents. Sorry I was not of any help.

and was that just the strobe box you had a problem with or all of the lights, i dont want to put it with the reciever because of the power draw on the battery, i just did the landing lights because they would only be on for a few moments at a time
