AEAJR - thanks for the help - and you are right that is what happened I let the Aerobird get down wind plus like you said I was in to much wind. It has been windy here in Missouri for several weeks and I was tired of waiting. There is a flying field within a couple of miles of my house but to fly on it you have to be an AMA member and have to get a permit from the county parks to fly there and I just got my AMA membership and my permit for the flying park, so now I can go over to the field with other RCers for help. The park by my house is to small and like I said it has houses all the way around the park so if you go outside the park all you can see if roofs.

What did you think about what I did with the tie between the battery and the receiver?

I really enjoy reading this form. Thanks again CARPER
