    Punctuation is your friend.

    Take out the ESC and see how everything works. Mtronics ESCs have been known to cause strange interference with other systems plugged into the receiver even if you have already disconnected the RX-ESC power connection. It seems that some Mtronics can produce feedback on the ground line which some servos/electronics are impacted by and some aren't. I haven't seen this with other brands of ESCs.

    Does the interaction occur on exactly 3 channels? If so, see if you have helicopter ccpm mixing turned on

    Not so tech savvy but I will check after work. Think my batteries in the transmitter are getting weak also. Not so sure if that could play any part

    So upon further investigation i don't even know how to turn the mixing thing on or off from what I gather from the transmitter unless set for helicopters there is no access to that function. Guessing the problem lies with the esc.. Sad face

    So it may have a default setting where the mix is turned on. For giggles i went through all the helicopter settings all four setups turned off that feature and I owe Greg a lot of beer when nationals comes back this way THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! KNOCK ON WOOD IT HAS STOPPED. My question is why did it take so long to activate? I'm off to the pool to try again tomorrow
