Ijust bought my first plane on Craigslist and have already hit a severe stumbling block. The plane came with a Futaba 3 Channel Radio and Receiver. The guy I boughtthe plane from has said he hasn't used the planein a few years. I've (to the best of my knowledge) followed thedirections to chargeboth the transmitter and receiver, but it doesn't seem like anything is happening(the manual says Ishould see a green light illuminate on thecharger, but it's not).

My first question - is it possible that the battery is completely deadand cannot be charged? </p>
