Daren, no we didn't check the battery nor did we do a proper range check, also the reciever that was in the plane when it crashed
had been through more than one hit. It has a new battery now and a new radio. I am still in the learning curve for airplanes and I am finding things out the hard way. well this was a good deal as the plane is mine now. Also my buddy junked that old radio and kept the servos only.
