Default I got a battery problem

And I figure you guys might could help...actually its a mini stick I got from Bob, great plane, great flyer, but the battery only lasts for one flight (maybe 5 minutes with the .074) then the voltage is in the yellow...now (background ) it sat for a while before I put the .074 in..but it held a charge ok...Raymond went over the plane and we discovered the throttle servo was binding just a bit, we charged it off his car charger but I didnt fly again that day,,later in the week it had pretty much lost its charge and it was a no name pack with deans plugs on it so I changed it out with a hitec 270 mah pack and new switch..charged it up , but it too would drive the voltwatch into the yellow within 2 minutes...so I tried yet another Hitce 270 pak..same thing....I'm thinking all 3 batteries cant be bad, I cant find anything else binding and I fixed the throttle by trimming it....its too small of a plane for a 600 mah battery.....is there a size in between?..say a 350-400mah pak....I even switched out voltwatches and the older one I have isnt quite as sensitve as the newer one is but it still does alot of jumping around when moving the servos.....[&o]...Rog
