Thanks all,

The Futaba is an AM radio but has been "narrow banded" so it should be ok for now. I think the trainer will be fine as is and should need little to get it going.

The controls on the Bi=plane seem a little slow to respond in comparison to the other plane. May just be the way it was back when this one was built. It is probably a mid 80s model. But, its looks darn good for its age.


I tried charging the batter in the starter box. There was an AC wall adaptor with alligator clips on it in the box. I put that on the posts for the starter on the side of the box and that made the pump work but did not charge the battery. Maybe I should place those clips right on the battery.

Was going to try and start the trainer today but decided to hold off until some one that knows what they are doing can look at it. No sense in messing somthing up. I will throw the can of fuel away that came with this setup though, I am pretty sure its no good LOL.
