Default transmitter or receiver problems

I have an ar9020 receiver in it I was do a fast level fly by and all of a sudden she went into a loop with no transmitter input so I land and do a range check looked everything over everything is working fine so I take off start a slight right bank and then the plane banks left and right really quick back n forth about 4 times and then stops so I land and still cannot find any problems its like I'm getting random signals to or from the receiver. anyone have any ideas or have this problem

Which transmitter are you using? If it is a Dx 8,9, or 18 make sure the SD card is NOT in the radio. That is the first thing to check. If it is not send in the transmitter, and if that's alright send in the receiver.

sorry I'm not great at explaining things I never actually loose connection or loose control of the model I'm trying to find the right words to explain lets say its like a hiccup for a sec the plane will twitch almost like someone came up and flicked one of the transmitter sticks it will aileron twitch or elevator its all random now I say twitch but its enough to put the plane on it side or straight nose up its just for like less then a sec cause I have full control right away but I'm guessing its only a matter of time before it decides to do it nose down while I'm trying to land. I put the receiver in one of my electric foamies today and had 4 perfect flights no problem

Deflections like that have been linked to bad connections in the power system, that is, a bad switch or not-well-seated connectors.
