HobbyZone Firebird Freedom Electronics problem
Purchased my first decent RC plane and got it yesterday. After draining (remote worked fine) and attempting to charge the battery (I think I put 10 minutes into it in the end) I took it to a field to fly. After adjusting the ruddervators(?) I did a test throw to see if it flew straight. Well I threw it too high and it flew then nose dived, hitting it squarely on the nose, pretty straight though so I was happy. Well when I got to the plane one of the ruddervators was maxed out, I'm guessing I did not tighten the screws completely. Anyway I fixed that and was ready to actually fly and I could not get the remote to control the plane! Unplugged and re-plugged the battery in, nothing... I looked inside at the electronics and nothing looked bad or too loose. So I completely charged the battery and tried it again after about an hour or something (after the light on the charger stopped blinking), still absolutely nothing, zippo.
My question is has anyone else had this problem and what have you done other than buying a whole new fuse'? How easy is it to take the electronics out of the plane to check if anything is loose? Do any of the other HoybZone planes have similar electronics I can replace with the ones in this one?
Thanks all
