i just bought a aerobird extreme on ebay it was used but from a shop. anyway i get ready to fly and when i throttle it up and toss it evrything seems fine for about 5 seconds and then it loses all power and falls to the ground. when i check it out ..i throttle it up and it runs for a couple of seconds and quits. of course theres no warranty on it. does anyone know whats going on. battery connections seem fine and the servos seem to work fine even when motor quits. i would appreciate any help. im very new at this airplne stuff. thanks , Ron

Well the motor quits like that becuase the speed control in not seeing the voltage it needs so it thinks the battery is dead so it cuts out. So either A) your battery is not storing the current like it should and or B) The charger is bad, its not charging correctly. Try charging the batery on a differant charger and see what happens. Or give the battery a long slow charge. Sometimes that could wake the battery up. The hobbyzone chargers are not quite the best things in the world. If it does the same thing you know your battery not good. So replace the battery.

Hope this helps...

thanks bud, ill give it a try.
