Default Lanier Stinger G62 W/Radio Problem????

Hi, fairly new to this site so not sure if this is the right area for this, but here goes.
The Stinger has a G62 w/Mag. have flown this before with no problems, but went out today fired it up and flew the pattern for awhile to get warmed up. Started doing some snaps and hammerheads etc. and everything was going well until I went inverted at a good altitude and lost radio response, it came down far enough to get back in an upright position, and was able to regain control again. I also had a friend fly it and it did the same with him. Was able to bring the plane home in one piece but with nerves a little frazzled The radio is a JR Century 7 PCM with failsafe. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure that all radio wires are not near the rx antennae.(spelling, sorry). Also, how close is that throttle servo to the mag? Is the crystal secure in the rx if you do not have a synth. rx? Batteries check out ok? Do another solid motor on/off range check, and go way out from the plane. Is there any metal braces or brackets vibrating that could be causing rf?

Thanx for the quick response, I may have some wires close to the ant. I was going to go back thru this plane and redo the wires, and try to get them bundled a little neater and closer together. Servo is some distance away from mag. Will check the Crystal, and all of the other mentioned as well. Thank you kindly for your time, and will post again as soon as I go thru this check list.
