Hello all,

A couple of years ago I bought an RC plane (think it was called a Cub Cadet) with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE at all! None - zilch - zero! I tried flying it and after five seconds it crashed softly to the ground - uh duh - rookie at hand! I picked it up, tried it again, and it did not work at all the second time meaning the plane would not power up at all! I put it away, forgot about it, and it has been collecting dust for several years. Now I want to to try it again with a much stronger, better, positive attitude then just the original five minutes I gave it. I charged everything up, took it outside, and it would not "start" up at all. A buddy of mine at work said it may need some work to the engine. It does not look banged up at all. In fact it looks the EXACT same as it did when I originally purchased it as no pieces appear to be missing. Well I have NO IDEA what to do on this as I have NEVER worked with electronics before, BUT I am willing to try! SO with all of this said and done, what are my next steps here anyone please?? Is there some type of engine test manual or list that I can try to follow to see what's wrong? First step is to get this "fixed". next would be learning to have patience. Third would be learning how to fly it. Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated but please remember that I have spent literally a total of five minutes in the hobby. I can come back here and list the model name and number if need be, as well as a couple of pics of the plane and the engine compartment (just need to know how to send them directly to this forum from my phone). Please help and thanks!!
