RE: Aerobird - Flying for a beginner
I bought an aerobird a few days ago and returned it because of that problem. The 3rd channel slider for the engine control doesnt change the speeds smoothly. You'll try cutting the speed, and it'll go full blast. Either the fader is dirty and needs a cleaning (Cailube MCL) or there's some bad electronics in there somewhere...
I returned the plane and got another, and the new one worked fine. Also, the old plane's peak charger was burnt out. I opened it up, and noticed that the control circuit had a thick coating of ash on it. Oh well... thats what you get when you try to push 1.2 amps through micro circuitry. The new plane's charger worked fine, but got really hot.
