ya okay well another thing...when we first bought the thing, we checked it out and noticed that the positive connector from the engine wasn't plugged in to anything. it has a female connector but it worked fine even with it plugged in. then, after the crash, the engine wouldn't work. the rudder and elevator was just fine, though. then we plugged the wire in and it worked just fine! i really am thinking that the plane's receiver is jacked beacuse on our most recent flight the plane kind of had a mind of it's own and the only thing we could control was the throttle. the plane just flipped really radically and tasted the dirt really hard.
