Good news Chad I stopped by my local hobby shop , I spend a fair bit of money there and told him about the charger problem even though I didn't buy it from him and he gave me a new charger and I'll just give him the new one from Horizon when it gets here. I plugged it in this morning and it works perfect!

Chad here is one compact radio case and one compact set of wing bags and your carbon fiber spar acts as a handle!

Well, locked down a new field yesterday for when all this stuff arrives. Funny you'd mention UAV's cause its where they launch/recover them from.

Big open area full of nothing but gleaming concrete. Should be perfect. Surface is in good shape too so the undercarriage should fair well.

Can't wait!

The batteries are labled 1, 2, and 3 all charged up and ready to go as well as the transmitter battery . Don't forget to Rebind after programming the radio?
