Stik long running aileron spasm problem solved!

I have written a couple of times about my long running issue with the ailerons on the Stik going rogue and spasming at WOT. They would move like crazy and sometimes lock up in a hard roll. A few weeks back an intense uncommanded high speed snap roll resulted. Last time I took her out to the field she did it, and I grounded her. 

I had read on an RC crash site on Facebook that a plane had uncommanded aileron roll to the site of the crash that was fixed by balancing the prop and padding the receiver against vibration. Since I have tried everything, changing leads, torrid, changed servos, changed the ignition, and eventually the receiver. Nothing worked, so I decided to try the balance and protect. The prop did need balancing, and I padded the receiver with a gel pad and foam around the receiver. Today I took her out:



Problem solved! Wow...
