Stephen Grigg Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Decide where to fit the switch bit fiddly but got there.then after fitting the rear wheel fitted a new receiverand bound it..after i had adjusted the mechanical parts,everything was OK.then then the receiver started flashing red and green and a couple of servos were twitching.If I moved them they jerked with the flashing.I tried a spare receiver \nd within seconds it was the same.HELP.I tried a new battery and whoopee everything was fine,a dodgy new battery believe it or not.My son had gone off with my car and a lot of my stuff was in it so I couldnt check the battery with a meter..

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Huuurrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!! We knew you could do it! Well done Stephen. Go and have a well earned cuppa - or even splash out on a juice! It does look great - bet it will fly well to. Tell you one thing - you see those sweep backs on the wings? I'll make a prediction - I'll bet you'll find she comes in very fast to land and then floats, and floats, and floats!!! See if I'm right! Well done again mate! Really chuffed for you!
