RE: NEW Hobbyzone Firebird Freedom
I've never had a problem with mine... I'd return it, and they should refund you, because the way it just cut out. My TX batteries stayed in just fine, but the ones that I replaced the with (Duracell) have already outlasted them. I soloed my first nitro plane today. It was a trainer, and it wasn't much more difficult than my FF. I do have 50 flights or so on the FF. Also, teh nitro trainer is even more sensitive than the FF with the controls maxed out. i did atleast 20 touch and goes today, and other various things on one battery. I get atleast 15 minutes on half power, sometimes full, and maybe 10 full power the whole time for aerobatics. I'm curious to see how the mini super sporster will compare. I have one ordered, and have a brushless for it...
