Default servo problem

hi guys,am getting sum strange problems here,my servos(all 5) have been going mad!1 or 2 at a time,they just start turning left/right for a few seconds n then stop,as if they got up into some sort of interference as the one caused by same frequencies used!but the thing is that theres no heli or other r/c around!so what may be casuing this effect???can it be due to the wires,receiver,or what exactly?as am afraid that even it just got up 4-5times since it started(1 day back),it may suddenly pop up during my first flight n just crash my heli!

What kind of system? It could be your antenna. How is it mounted? Could be a bad Rx Crystal too. Depends on what system it is though. Give us more info.

iy's a hitec eclipse 7 with 4 hitec servo n a futaba digital servo for the rudder!the antenna seems to be okay!do u think it's the crystal?coz i had no similar problems before,i just started to hav them when i finished taping the receiver,attaching the wires n putting the rubber foam!i had attached my battery indicator on the foam which was right on the crystal but then i removed the indicator n the foam n i got the prob once more!am still puzzled for that!i also saw that i had plugged the battery wire upside down by mistake!(the yellow wire being down) do u think it was this which caused all this?
