To be truthful, I can't say for sure, I know brass is conductive.
I believe aluminum is also, just much less so.
This was just a rule I learned early on in the hobby and have keep
doing over the years. I have seen interference when hitting a screw
driver to the piano wire I use for my push rods, or even the screw
on the top of a servo, so I know that its a valid point. And after
my initial setting up, I hate having more problems when I get to
the field, so I just don't chance it.

Brass when in contact with other metals and/or brass, will NOT make any
radio interference. Thats why they use brass and not steel or aluminum in RC
equip..
Isn´t this right? Meant I´ve read this somewhere sometime.
As long as brass is always in contact the radio interference will be
minimal. Look at the new Hitec servos with aluminum gear inside, the
aluminum gear is newer in contact with anything else but brass. And there is
only one gearwheel that is nmade of aluminum (if I recall correct).

I was just thinking, one thing it might be is metal to metal contact.
The 3cam's come with brass aileron and flap horns, and then with the
metal clevis's. As a matter of normal course, I will always use a
good plastic clevis with any metal control horn and visa versa, I
will always use a metal clevis with a G10 or wood horns.
This would also explain why a PCM receiver would work. Using one
would also cure this.
The only other explanation I could think of, is once I had a 6 servo
plane where it had a bad pot in one of the 141'. Moving this one servo
would make the others jump.
