Bad news for a newbie ?
take the car out of your garage put the antena on the transmitter down move 75 ft from the car run the servos thru....Is it responsive is it wanting to constantly do it own thing....If you are ontop of your car with the transmitter you will get a glitch everynow and again xspecially with the engine off...range check see if glitch goes away...If your reciever is bad it is the frequency filter, you can't fix it!!! send it to a radio shop and have it tuned! about 50.00 and guess what you can by a new reciever for what it will cost! Please make sure, Like moon said that your batteries are charged!!!! The filter in the reciever is the first to go and airtronics is famous for it...I lost 2 recievers in a week on two airplanes...Beautiful way to lose 1000.00
