Default RE: A Beginers Guide to RC.

I just purchased a bird (not a plane) and I cannot get it to fly! It says it is for beginners, but I think I am missing something.

The manual is easy to read, but I still don't get it. I can flap its wings, move the tail, but it just slams to the ground. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong OR what I am not doing??

Does the controller just work on AA batteries??? Special batteries or just regular over-the -counter AA??? My controller has new batteries, but will only control the bird if it is plugged in. Do you need to charge the controller w/the charger? When I plug it in the light is green. I have no idea.

I need the basics.

Thanks!
