Geoboat

I purchased an AquaCraft Mini Rio a month or two back and have been having fun with it in my pool. I have broken off the rudder support a couple of times, though, against the side of the pool, but am getting better at not doing that as I learn to control it better.
However, I have another problem. The boat just stops dead in the water. No motor, no rudder, nothing. Then starts again. I've replaced the batteries in the controler, but that didn't make any difference and it doesn't seem to make any difference wwherther the battery is fully charged or not. There also is not an apparent short anywhere that I can see.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

How long does the antenna wire stick out?

Geoboat

The clear plastic antenna tube is about seven inches long and there's another ten inches of wire beyond that. Everything worked fine until yesterday, so it's a new problem.

My Feedback: (1)

I have two zig zags which were doing the same thing once. I figure it was because of radio interference emitting from the nearby residential neighborhood and yours is FM as well right?

Try taking it out somewhere more rural and see if it keeps doing it.
