[NSRCA-discussion] Impact

[John Ferrell]

Considering that it is unlikely that:
1- it is unlikely that he would have a set up problem
2-his skill level rules out pilot error
3- other Impacts work well
4-the servos have more than adequate power ratings

I think it likely the receiver battery is sagging. Try another, preferably 
1400mah(or more) NiCad.
