Default RE: Mistake?

On a side note.The battery charger that comes with the kit says 2 hours till charge,after two hours the pack does get quite warm. I fooled with the plane in living room with tape still holding motors on,let it run half, 3/4 throttle for 2 mins. to run batt. dry,well,battery got almost too hot to touch! I think I will drill a 9/16 inch hole or so in the nose so the battery can get air,what do you think? I also found out that with the stock set up and the throttle trim all the way down,power doesn't come on till 1/4 throttle or so. Max the trim up and it comes on instantly and has more top end.And the best thing yet(had me wondering after I ordered), the front wheel has its own servo to steer the bird on the ground. I was worried 'cause of the absence of rudder.But you do have ground control.

Any questions before your new bird arrives,don't be affraid to ask,as far as that goes, me being a "noob",don't be affraid to add!
