here ya go guys:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3773941/tm.htm i started that thread a while ago, and got sidetracked when i picked up a new AA. i thought i had finally toasted my first two xtwin RXs, but it turns out that the contact pad on the PCB of the throttle stick in the TX was really worn out. i've got a couple ways i can fix it fortunately, so hopefully tonight i can see if my Mosquito will fly.
i bought all my first "real" micro equipment from bsdmicrorc.com and still use them to this day, they're really nice people. its fun going and flying an RTF plane like the AA, but nothing quite beats building your own plane and watching it fly for the first time. its quite rewarding.
