ok, so I'm an idiot. [:@] I woke up the other morning, and it dawned on me.....
I put in 6 rechargeable batteries. They are 1.2 volts each.
.....Alkaline batteries are 1.5 volts.
See where I'm going with this ?
* The lower voltage was not transmitting all my inputs to the heli.
I replaced the rechargeables, and the heli flew just fine.
Oh and it's quite fun
