Hi. I went to the field about 2 days ago, and my aerobird flew great. I got it up real high, and then i noticed that the engine was sputtering. I brought the plane down, and i saw that the antenna was chopped by the prop. I went home, and changed the antenna, to a new one.

When i got to the field yestraday(sat), the range was fine. I through the plane, flew it for a while, and brought it down for a smooth landing. Replaced the battery, launched the plane and the engine cut out.

I went home, and soughtered on a new antenna, and today at the field, the range was about 2 feet. here is the wierd thing:it looks like the antenna is soughterd on to the chip. IF you know the aerobird, you know the hole where the antena is supposed to go through. Dose the antenna have to be touching inside the hole, or what!

Also: WHen i plug in the battery , and start moving my stick, the tail surfaces start to move. I take a step back, and they ignore my transmition, and the engine/controll surfaces start to spaz.
When i turn my transmitter off, it all stops![:@][:@]

please tell me what is going on with my plane!

thanks
