Default RE: HobbyZone Firebird Commander 2 w/ACT

Hi Bob,

You're right, I had a typo in the link. It should work now.

I'm still testing my Commander 2 as the balsa wedge proved to be too much compensation. I have gone back to just the thin plywood (cardboard will also work) pieces under the stab. The thickness is about the same as a credit card.

The Commander 2 has plenty of power put does not like to fly in wind because it produces great uplift. I need to test it on a calm day when only partial throttle is needed for maintaining level flight and wind gusts do not keep it porpoising like it did in the video.
