Well I took the Duraplane out tonight. The threat of bad weather coming caused me to go in a little more wind than I like but I went.

It flew really nice for half a tank then all of a sudden it wouldn't respond to anything. No throttle, no rudder, no elevator, and finally NO ALTITUTE!!!!!

Well I tested voltage before I left the house and the reciever was at 5.21 volts, after it read 4.62 volts and the TX was at 80%. (Never goes to more than 85%)

Does anyone think this could have been battery related? I have crashed this plane a few times already and I may have lost another connection?

Well, now I will have to wait till I get another flight on the buddy box (with my 60 size trainer) and hopefully I can then solo. My instructor said that I could now but I want one more landing first.

The duraplane was my plane for when I am alone. I have my scratch built waiting for that motor to be put back on so I may have to do just that.

Hope you are all having a good weekend. Mine is sure to get better!
