got it...Do you guys think its worth buying a new battery, or should I look into buying a whole new radio?
If anyone can guide me in the right direction of building a battery pack, that would be great. I can solder, and heat shrink and all that good stuff. I looked on ebay and it seems a new battery pack is probably going to run me $30 =/
Not a bad idea to buy a new radio once you add up the cost of the flight pack and a new battery for your transmitter you can get a package deal for about the same price. The transmitter is almost free and your old transmitter will make a handy buddy box.
Look here:

And this transmitter will work with your old receiver and servos so you will be set when you want to move to a bigger plane (you will need a new crystal for your old receiver if it is a different channel, about $10)
