I was given the Dynam Catalina a year or so ago for Christmas and had trouble with the radio/receiver. Following the sequence per the instructions (fire up transmitter, plug battery in), I'm unable to get any throttle control of any kind. I didn't find the written instructions to be very clear. I did manage to end up in the ER one evening after making several attempts to get things working--so I've been a bit sqeamish about putzing with it again. While I don't think I'm an idiot, the wise young customer service guy at Nitro pointed out very tactfully that I could remove the props next time before further attempts. I thought that was pretty smart.

Anyway, it should be clear this is my first an only electric--any suggestions are welcome, or if you happen to know of good instructions online that would be great. Not sure why flipping one or two switches and plugging in one battery should be challenging, but I have not been able to manage it yet. Thanks!
