Do the CIM motors emit a magnetic field?

if you put a conducter near it, any movement will generate a current in the conductor and thus a field will form around it ....

I would be surprised if it had any effect on the RC. IFI is pretty good at design and would have planned for this kind (and most) interference.

Which is true but the field strength overall will be less. Why? Because you don't get energy for free. Some of the strength of the magnetic field goes into inducing the current in the conducter hence reducing the strength of the magnetic field overall.
