Fortysevenk I would take it back and get a refund. I had that storm launcher and was disapointed[:@] It would fly about 6' and that was it[] I had 4 batterys and only got about 4 minutes with each battery if I was lucky It lacked power and I took the fan shrouds off but that didn't help[&o] They also mention to take the front bar off due to weight but I just gave up altogether I recently got the mini storm launcher and its alot better, has enough power but only get about 5 minutes with each lipo I got 2 mini launchers and one flew great the other would barely get off the ground, go figure So I took one back to the store and kept one. The only thing missing on the mini is lipos. It would rock with a bigger battery and more time in the air. Heli007
