By glitching do you mean twitching of the servos at a distance?

I haven't noticed anything here on the workbench but I haven't tested it at any range.

The wing is 8 3/8 wide and it ballances 3 3/8 from the leading edge. The main spar is 1/4" thick is starts at 2 3/4 from leading edge and ends at 3"
Does that make sense?

The Transmitter is a 4 chanel but the RX is an 8 ch. Does that make a difference? What else can I try? I put the elevator in every ch and the only one it works in properly is ch 3.

Yes I realize that but I was just wondering if it was supposed to be ch 1-4 why mine doesn't work that way. Maybe I did something wrong or there is something going on with my TX or RX. Who knows.
