Is there any way to make this work?


Not without more information, which was why I suggested a test.

Did you do the range check against the other transmitters with the TX
antenna collapsed? If so, then you've done a fine test of how well your
TX will work compared to others -- with everyone's antennas are
collapsed. If you normally fly it with the antenna _out_ then you need
to test it that way, and find some other way of attenuating the signal
to the receiver -- like rolling up _it's_ antenna.

You obviously have a problem with that particular TX, which is why I'm
suggesting a look at the TX first. Another question you can ask is does
the TX have the same problem with other receivers? On other
frequencies? Do you have another plane with a different brand receiver,
or a buddy with same, that you can try at the problem site? This may be
a valid thing to try.


I've done the range check with the antenna in; under normal
circumstances the range is further than I can see with the antenna
out. I can try rolling up the receiver antenna.

I've tried the transmitter with 5 different receivers (4 different
brands) on 5 different frequencies, all with the exact same problem.

At one point I had two different receivers (different brands) on the
same frequency turned on, and when they glitched they both glitched in
exactly the same way (rudder went hard right on both models, for
example). This isn't proof, but in general you wouldn't expect two
receivers to glitch in exactly the same way if the problem is
interference at the receiver.
