Just a quick fix to see if I can charge that battery pack. It didn't work, but I still don't know it that is the battery is a dud or just the charger I used could not handle it. Deslomeslager reminded me I didn't check what that red button on the transmitter does. I have checked and it is like a kill switch. When you switch on the hovercraft the lift motor starts straight away. If you hold the red button in it stops the lift motor - and everything else. That means you can stop the craft dead from a distance or set it up at a place of your choice and then walk away to a suitable observation point before starting it. As this series has developed more into a NiMh battery charging exercise you might find it useful to read this article on charging these batteries. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_nickel_metal_hydride The original Charity Shop Gold or Garbage video is here https://youtu.be/adOXr4DVV8s Here is an interesting review of a later version of this toy, it has the same name and comes from the same place - ToysRUs - but is clearly a newer version and you can see the large balloon type skirt https://youtu.be/SlXa8Ee_XcM Camera FujiFilm FinePix S4800 Editor Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition I have created a new playlist for this Hover Glider as I am having to do a bit of a series of videos to get it going. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1CJGS7JZgf0DbAmyKiUeCz Related playlists Charity Shop playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB14bwwnAIt54ZWwWBktc445 Radio Control playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB13Xcquw4Ff09MQzTPjeVkI Hovercraft playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3zoLYIrdESCCWdx2nLq8r7 My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2mp_L8RoxMyw3ewwSecZ6Q Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/ Fast Lane,Hover,Glider,
