I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Rhys, can you upload (or email me) a picture that shows all the connections, from the battery, to the ESC, Reciever, Servos, etc?

Black and Red 2 wire plug to ESC, ESC "Z" connector power to reciever Throttle input. Make sure +.-. singnal (if there is a signal wire) are in the correct position at the reciever. There is usually aa small diagram on the side of the reciever indicating +,-,s or -,+,s.

The servos don't twitch at all. i still have the channel 51 crystals, but the channel 51 crystal for the receiver won't work in a berg receiver i don't think. will it?

Rhys, what happened with the crystals? Do you have the ch51 ones still in there, or did you change them. I guess since we're not flying in the same area any more, you could keep 51. Do the servos 'twitch' a little when you connect the battery?

Xanadu is corret never cut the wireing on these batteries.You have to use a LI-PO battery charger to get the corret charghing balance.If not you will cause damage to the battery pack.Make sure the motor can take the 7.4 volts or it will get to hot if the motor is can motor need brushleess.These batteries are made to push voltage and they storemore than nicad.The speed control needs to beable to take the voltage like a 8 or 10amp can go over I use 25amp never go under burn it out.

When I bought the slow stick, my dad and i had to cut the wires on the motor and put new ones on in order to work on the esc i had. It did work fine, so i don't think that is a problem. Even the rudder and elevator isn't working. I charged the transmitter battery up the whole night and it still doesn't work. i recently bought a new esc and receiver as well. That might be the problem.

It could be several different reasons, but don't play with the wires. These LI-PO battery's can be shorted out and burst causing fires if handle wrong, or wired wrong. You can also short out your esc if wired improperly. It could be the esc needs setting up, maybe the motor wires are wrong, transmitter battery's dead, etc. Not trying to scare you, but these can be dangerous if proper care is not taken, they are not like a regular battery.

I forgot to add this- This is the cockpit of the *Concorde

A picture of the cockpit of the plane. I was bummed out when we weren't aloud to sit in it. Though once when my Mom and I were flying from Miami to White Plains, the captain let me sit in the cockpit of a JetBlue plane. I will never forget that.

Here is a British Airways Concorde. It actually was a flying plane, In other words, It isn't a replica. I remember seeing a video of them transporting all of the parts by truck on the highway.

Here is a picture of the inside of the plane.

James, forget my mom in the picture, here is the front of the plane. This was the only outside picture i could find
rhysleo, Comment for image # 1443410 Oct 09 16:13
I do have it charged up, but when i plug it in to the plane, it won't do anything. its always something new... any suggestions? its really windy up here at the moment, but hopefully it will die down.
rhysleo, Comment for image # 1444310 Oct 09 16:11
it might be, but i know for a fact it didn't have the double engines on the tail fin. I will look today to see if i got pictures of the outside.
jgood, Comment for image # 1443410 Oct 09 09:33
Great news Rhys, finally! Got it all charged up yet?
jgood, Comment for image # 1444310 Oct 09 09:32
Nice one! Looks like a Vickers VC-10, maybe?

This was me in 2006 sitting in the cockpit of a Douglas plane I think it was called. This was at Brooklands Museum.
