Glad you found it. Metal to metal vibration will cause it on fm for sure. If the gyro isn’t mounted tightly it’ll cause the tail servo issue. Gassers vibrate that’s for sure.

So, your heli has a CDI with its own battery.

Your receiver also has a battery.

Try to run both systems independent as posible.
Check all cables on your helicopter, need to be as straight as possible, avoiding "pigtail".

Isolate the servo which have the interference. Install a ferrite ring in the servo's cable.

If your are using bec's, install ferrite ring to cable output to receiver or CDI.

Do always a range check prior to fly your gadget.

Tail servo... It is always the problem. Check the double side tape and try different types, softer or harder... Don't forget the ferrite rings.

Boom supports... Avoid that FM antenna may not be parallel to boom support and far away the CDI cables.

/Saludos cordiales,
