Introduction + call for help with 30cc gasser

Hi flying giants,
nice to meet you all. I'm in Australia, and have recently purchased a quite old glodwing? turbo raven with a dle 30. Everything is going quite well but....
when I go to full throttle my receiver is being swamped? cutting out out? and servos all pull to full throw in seemingly random directions. The only option i have left in my mind(after separating the ign battery and all associated cabling and bundling it out of the plane. and manually controlling the throttle off the servo to check that is was not vibration coming back through the servo). Is that the ignition may be wildly leaking rf to the point of swamping the rx? the led goes off/out on the rx when this happens, but all the servos go to locked at full travel. have tried 3 rx's.
Thank-you kindly for your replies, and i'm sure there is heaps i have left out that you need to know, if so feel free to ask.

Kindest regards
also i think i have posted this twice in 2 different sections. sorry

look to see if the plug cap is split and does it still have the ring holding the end together .?
also are you 2.4 or 72mhz radio. don't run the ignition of the same battery also

2.4ghz I am very suspicious of the plug cap as it has at some point been repaired. It has the ring but the spring is missing.
Thanks for your reply Cap

If the plug cap has been repaired, it may be missing the resistor. The CM-6 spark plug is non resistor type , so the plug cap has a resistor in it to stop RF interferance.
I would try a new CDI.
