Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

ORIGINAL: FERNDALE AIR FORCE

Micro, have you heard or read of anyone wearing out the controller? All of my repaired planes have a serious right hook.

OK, I checked for batteries. Thes are hot batteries. the discharge is 12-20 c. Factory batteries are 10-15 c. the bigger batteries are only 135 mah but the discharge rate is amazing. Tim
hi Tim,
i wore out my original X-Twin TX throttle. the copper slide on the stick wore a groove into the copper on the PCB, at first i would just lose throttle sometimes, but eventually i had no throttle at all. after taking it apart i found the problem, there was also what looked like a little black grease on the slide too. after taking it apart and cleaning it all up, it started working again just fine, only to be broken later by me and a soldering iron

what brand of batteries are these that you've got? full rivers 10-15C rate is still considered pretty good. 12-20C is great. they dont happen to make 10mah or 20mah cells do they?
