Hello,

I use a Digifleet FPS-24B speed controller, fitted with the supression kit, with a Marlin type electric motor in a Fairy Swordsman, an old aerokits model. What ever I do, I cannot stop the motor starting to run when I activate the rudder. Any ideas about how to cure this would be appreciated.

Regards, John.

Hello Jake,

I agree with what you say but the degree of separation is dependant on the size of the model. However, matters are much improved now that I have switched to a Futaba computer controled 2.4Ghz transmitter and receiver.

Regards,

John.

Does the switch to 2.4 Ghz completely eliminate all interference problems or should one continue to follow the advice outlined by Dave Brumstead in this Model Boats article (winter 2010 issue) to keep motor supply voltage wiring away from receiver output wiring and the aerial away from proximity to the motor?
