Hi all, There is a post a few pages back about not flying out the battery, that when the planes starts getting sloppy and can't climb to go charge it. The writer sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I have also read posts that explain the reason for not modding your controller to an a/c adapter, the batteries are used as limiters to what the charger will put out.
Here is my response, unless you have modded out your tx, fly the batteries out. Then turn the plane off/on and burn the battery again, and then do it once more. Do this once you notice that your plane is not performing as well as in the past. Seems to last me about ten charges. It is not exciting to fly at 3 feet and slow at full throttle, but you will be happy later.
Also, an earlier post mentioned using teflon-based oil to re-lube the bearings I have found that this is true. Some on a q-tip and spin the motor.
monster, where would I look for your tank?
