O.K. Now here is an ideal for a really instructive show. Things a Rudder are good for. Like to see the "slip" in use and have it explained. Chad, are you there?

Crazy flyer/crasher :D
Yeah I kinda have been thinking about that idea of slipping because rudder and ailerons do kinda have some simiraty but they they don´t, which is the weird thing about them :D However I never knew that there actually way something called slipping which is explaining exactly what I have been thinking of. My theory was that slipping would just slow the plane down, due to more air resistance etc.

Awesome explanation AK flyer! I´ll try that out with one of my slower planes first.

An old thing.
The battery is probably useless after many years?
There are no module in Flash 5 making it easy to convert to 2,4 but "anylink" should do the trick if you don't choose to upgrade to a modern TX.
There are 2 model memories but if you are not lucky the eeprom might be hard to get to remember anything after many years - hope that i am wrong...
