[NSRCA-discussion] Impact

[Jim Woodward]

I flew the Impact a bit before selling to Billy.  Compared to my Aggressor
(which has typical foam/balsa wings), the Impact snapped like it had heavy
wings.  If John is switching from plane to plane, the first thing he'll
notice is that the Focus will stop faster than the Impact - that is, if you
are snapping with a snap button or "bury-the-corners" technique.  If you can
get off the elevator like Adam was mentioning, it will stop easier in roll.

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.
