Hi Paul
We've had exactly the same with our 912S+Airmaster. Airmaster say that a
software upgrade will cure it, and that Europa have got a copy. However,
that was before the EMIL situation all blew up and I haven't done anything
about it since. It is the controller.

Cliff,
Thanks for your feedback. This noise is definitely the controller and only
is a "splat" of static when the controller light comes on the actuate the
pitch motor. The cables to the propeller are shielded and I simply
terminated them on the case of the controller, the first thing I am going to
try is to tie them back to my central earth buss..
Paul
(Glad to be flying again)
