Unbelievable, but truea few (?) yrs back I got a RTF Easystar, but I wound up being gone for a long time. I have it out now, charged the batts (Tx says nicad on it and I'm guessing the Rx is niMh, seeing as there's an ESC unit in the plane)-I can't find ANY charging info in the book supplied. I had a good flight that ended up early as the motor lost power after maybe 45 seconds.
Came home and re-charged and now the plane acts like there's interferenceit does nothing, then the servos start wildly twiching like there's interference. And the motor won't run.
According to the voltmeter, the Tx batt shows 10.8 volts and the Rx shows 9.6.
I know the plane isn't new anymore, but are batteries, etc still available for it?
I'd love to hear some ideas about where it all went wrong.
Thanks, Beeza

I'd first try new batteries. I've left mine in the garage and it got down to 6 degrees. Guess what the batteries say the charged but futher investigation showed they really didn't.

Thanks jzrf6c. I'm a beginner here and not able to find out in the instructions info about the battery capacities. Do you know what sizes I would order?
