OK, so you are using the EVO's bind and range test options. You should see a substantial difference in the range test. When the EVO is in range test mode (beeping and showing RANGE on the display) the power output is only 0.19mw. However, the Nano's range can be several hundred feet with this power when doing the range test correctly (model at least 1 foot off of the ground) in the case of aircraft that have no landing gear. When you stop the RANGE test mode and go back to full power, the range will be 41.2 times further. So, if you got 100 feet in your range test before intermittent control started occurring, your full range would be about 4120 feet. We typically see about 400 feet with the Nano on dry ground.
The installation you have is not good though. You can't have wires passing under the antenna halves. Those antenna wires create a single antenna... that's not two antennas. So, wire(s) passing between the wires, especially if they can ever move (even a small amount) will de-tune the antenna. Moving wires are devastating, and the receiver can actually disconnect from the transmitter. Failsafe will hold the servos at their last known position or positions you have defined when this occurs. You won't ever get uncommanded input. You would be better off moving the receiver either up into a vertical stab or into the nose. Small installation like this are difficult to work with and were never the focus for this product line.
