alright guys. question #2 from the newbie.

i got the plane (tiger trainer MKII) put together (it came about 99% done), batteries charged and i wanted to test the controls. Everything worked fine after a couple adjustments except for the throttle. I worked the throttle on the transmitter and nothing happens.

However, i did notice that when i turned the power on to the plane (or i guess im actually turning on the reciever right?), the throttle servo moved to what i assume is the default position. So, I turned the power off, then manually moved the throttle a bit to see if it would do the same thing again. Yep, i turned the power back on and the throttle servo moved right back to the same position; which by the way looks like it would be about 1/3 open throttle...

Anyway, any ideas about whats going on with my throttle control? Is this normal?

thanks,
Jeremy

OH, and just a side question. About how long should i expect the batteries to last on the transmitter and reciever?
