Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

Finished and ready for test flights. Well almost.



I've now ran into a charging problem maybe some here have ran into.
The battery only cahrges for a 1 min- 10 seconds before the charging
light goes off. This leaves with with about a minute of possible flight time.
I tried a second charger- same thing. Both chargers charge my other
AA to the full charging time so it's not the charger or Double A batteries.

I was thinking of trying to charge the lipo directly from 6 Double A's from
just a battery box I made. I believe the lipo is 3.5 volts. Would the charge
of the 9 volt battery box fry it? Also I would have to keep close time on the
charge but if I could get the plane to run at least 5 minutes I'd be satisfied.

The only other thing I can think of is the lipo's going dead on me.
And that means a tear down for the new battery.
