Default RE: Mounting Rimfire on Flatana

Maiden today, went well
Then went for second flight, launched it, and immediately it throttled back and I landed it right away. I brought it back to the bench and looked everything over, nothing was hot or anything, so I reconnected the battery, and then I throttled it up slowly, went to half throttle or so, then tried to go to full, but it throttled back again. This was after I charged it, It throttles back and makes a noise (musical tone) as if the voltage on the battery is low or something? Any ideas? It didn't charge long, and now, after the plane is on for thirty seconds-1 minute, the engine just loses all response and the servos get sluggish, sound like battery failure? Is there any way to mess them up charging them? I'm using the stock 640 MaH Li-Po 3 cell that comes with the brushless flatout upgrade, and the charger that they supply, charged at 500 Mah, says it can accept up to 640 Mah charge, Claim to have safe-charge circuitry and whatnot. Anyway, any reply's are better than none, I'm clueless.
