yes, that would probably work, I think that the brushes on the DC motor are
causing the arcing that is throwing the SS receiver off- you could also try
to simply solder a ground to the metal case of the motor itself,  the case
of the motor should be able to shield it, but if it does not, then the
aluminum box should work- I have heard that some strobe power supplies have
a problem also, and the fix for them was a grounded aluminum box. I am
curious if the gear motor and the aileron trim motor also cause any
interference- anyone out there have the answer to that? I was also, thinking
about Bob Wood's suggestion about the Satellite weather downlink- it looks
really good, but my concern about it is that you are relying on your weather
data from an external source, and perhaps it is on a different frequency
than other satellite links, but I know that my sat TV, and my Sat internet
uplink both go down during bad weather, so I would have some concern about
reception of the signals just when you really need them most..... anyone
have any experience with that? I'd like to hear about it, because if the
signals are reliable in lightning infested areas, then maybe it would be a
good alternative.

Maybe you could build a grounded aluminum box around the trim motor?
