My models servos shake or jitter whenever I get my transmitter really close to the model, especially if my antenna is up. Whats wrong?
This is a behavior commonly known as ‘swamping’. Basically, your transmitter is overpowering your receiver because it is so close. Try collapsing your antenna, and keep your transmitter at least 2 feet away from your model. If this behavior occurs when you are more than 2 feet away or especially during range checking, DO NOT FLY. Check your full radio installation and send your equipment for service if no problem is found.
