There is a chance that the bike may need some minor attention – be it a clean, a bit of labour or parts, but otherwise will be a perfectly serviceable and running bike.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm............
Surprise surprise they can sell you pedals, saddles, wheels, nuts and bolts etc.
Was all excited for a minute there Pete for my little boy's birthday but I don't think so.

Course I did - and nothing. Sending it back. Mopping up the tears until a replacement I guess.

Its a remote controlled plane. You put batteries in the handset and charge the plane from it. The lights came on and went out in the required time for the charging as described in instructions.
Then switched over to 'on' and switched plane on to test propellors went round before going out..................NOTHING.
Tried the prescribed 'Wiggle it' after panic text to PSL - still nowt.

There are four tiny philips screws holding the assembly in the plane - cannot decide if I should remove them and fiddle or leave broken and return for a refund/replacement. If I mess it up then no replacement!!

Did you wiggle the switch - these are cheap switches and sometimes don't 'make' and 'break' at the extents of their travel ...

Can you turn the props manually? Try turning them whilst pressing the button, mind you don't have your fingers off though

The crystal number should be written on the transmitter ....... a frequency.
Thats should be matching as they were bought together .. but, worth checking I guess? More than likely to be a loose wire. Hence the 'wiggle' idea
