Thanks for the reply Andy. Yes, there was a speed controller in the plane, but it too got crunched pretty good during his ummm.... landing. *laffin* That must have been decreasing the voltage to the receiver/servos. I guess I better go buy a 6v battery. By the way, the one that I got is 1500mAh, 7.2v, Nimh, and says BYD Battery on it. Anyone want to give some advice as to what SIZE battery I should buy? I intend to use the Gentle Lady for mostly fun flying, but might want to get into competitions or start on the LSF levels.
