An update to this:
After he added the Futuba 2.4, he still experience random issues - about every 2 or three minutes. I stuck my DX-3 in it, and same result. We then added a reciever pack (pulled the red wire). And that seemed to help.
We pulled the receiver pack, put mine back in, reprogrammed to eliminate the Lipo cutoff (that's new, so anyone else you might want to do that if you dont use lipos), and ran it on the bench a few times. After watching him do this, I realized that the reciever light was going out every time it "glitched". So we finally nailed it down to that.
Going to take it up to the LHS, and see if they will swap it out - otherwise he'll be sending it in to Novak.

UPdate: He ended up sending it back in to Novak, who sent it back after testing and said there was no problem with it. We put it back in, and it still does it. There is a little periodic cogging right at take off (but not enough to be an issue). However, every time he lands a jump it shuts down for a couple seconds. I put my DX3 back in it, and its the same result.
He tried emailing Charlie, but didnt get a response. Guess he needs to make a phone call, or try emailing again.
