High voltage arc.

I am building a bell222 on an Align 600E chassis. A friend is running a strobe on his scale heli which was very impressive to see, so I purchased and installed one on my 222. I was interested to see if the strobe would have any effect on the RX electronics as it did not seem to be effecting my friends ship. I used a 6000 radio I had sitting around to set up the retracts; intending to swap to a 9100 later on. When I tried the unit the retracts twitched in sequence with the strobe. Moving the entire strobe unit a foot from the other electronics had no effect at solving the problem. Needles to say this heli will not have a strobe. I believe my friend is flying on the edge.

This strobe uses a 400v trigger.
