A slight problem with your math here - 1/20 of a second (50 msec) is around 1/4 of the typical servo travel time (end to end), not 4 times. Unlikely you'd notice that even on a pylon racer or an aerobat. Thanks Eric Weder,

Interference type versus signal detection type. There are two types of interference from channelling standpoint, co-channel and off-channel. Co-channel interference (1st) takes place when one or more additional Tx is operating on to a busy channel. Result is the reduction of signal quality marke
