RCG, Thanks for all that info. I have though on some of it. I only e-mail and go on the net on the week days, so sory for the delay. I already have the balanced charger and the battery. I went ahead and tried it. I don't think the brushed motors are going to last very long since there was a certain glow coming out of the when the plane took off and it was on full throttle. It is a display right now, and I am going to order the things you said to. Like I said, I am a true newbie, so I mean it when I say thanks. I also got an exceed f-4 E that I crashed on the 1st flight because of pilot error. Anwhoo, can the plane be glued back together since the front broke off right in front of the intakes? Oh, yeah, and the left wing broke off too. So, should I just order a new fuselage and wing when I can fly the A-10 pretty well, or should I just glue the dadgum thing together until I figure out how not to crash something that goes mach3? LOL!!! Thanks again for the advice guys, I really appreciate all of it.

Kevin
