Default EasyStar help

This is unbelievable but true. A few yrs back I got a RTF EasyStar, but I wound up being gone for several years. I have it out now, for its first flights. I charged the batteries. Tx battery says nicad on it and I'm guessing the Rx is niMh, seeing as there's an ESC unit in the plane. I can't find ANY charging info in the phamplet that came with the plane. I had a good flight that ended early as the motor lost power after maybe 45 seconds.

I came home and recharged and now the plane acts like there's interference. I turn on the power, TX first, and the plane does nothing, then the servos start wildly twiching. And the motor doesn't run at all.

My voltmeter says the Tx battery has 10.8 volts and the Rx battery shows 9.6.

The plane isn't new anymore, but are batteries, etc still available for it? I'd love to hear some ideas about where it all went wrong.

Thanks, Beeza
