i've tried turning the system on with an assistant standing away from the model and as far as location of the plane in relation to cars and whatnot, it doesnt matter. but i did some more experimenting, and found that it like to do it more with a full charge, than with a slightly lower charge. (i am following the correct proceedure of turning the radio on, and then the model). i just wish there was an easy way to test another reciever on this system, so i can rule one or the other out.
would it be worth paying $50 for a hitec 8ch reciever to try it out? or should i swap crystals (still would be paying at least $40 for crystals) and try someone elses reciever?
