Skylark stopped working! HELP - 8/21/2003 9:01:39 AM

Status: offline 		I’ve put about 8 or 10 battery cycles through my Skylark and today it just stopped working.
When I plug the battery in, the red light does not come on any more, no matter how long I wait.
Everything else works on it except the tail motor. I checked it by putting 3 volts directly on the motor terminals but it is working fine and spins up.

So does this mean that the main board is stuffed?

Please help. I was just starting to get the hang of it.

Thanks, Katipo

Status: offline 		There’s nothing wrong with the battery. I had someone look at it and it's confirmed, the board is fried.
My only option now is to get separate components. At $75, a replacement board would be the cheapest however it looks like it could happen again so it is wiser to spend the $85 and get two speed comptrollers and a piezo gyro. The mixing will be now done in my computer radio allowing for more control with the set up.
