GTX, Tommyr, Ferndale,

The batteries were about a week old but I swapped them out anyways per your suggestions.
Now it works intermittently again. I need to move the plug in and out multiple times to get the green light.
I put the week old batteries in the B channel transmitter and I get green with both planes.

So, the batteries do contribute to the problem but there is definetely a connection issue with transmitter 'C'
I like the Red/Black color scheme much better tan the Green/Yellow but I think I may have to return it.

On another note: I usually keep the altitude below the roof of the house since I got stuck there the first night I flew. Today I decided to see how high this thing could actually get. I was very impressed. Critical altitude seems to be at least 200-300' (this was on a full charge).
I wish I had a camera small enough to take pictures with this thing. It's been a while since I buzzed our house in a cessna.
