Bought a Firebird outlaw, came broken.
I had a firebird outlaw that broke in the same place after about a month of flying it. I would first attempt to get the museum to replace it. If no luck there, this is how I repaired mine.
I lined up the two broken rods in the fuselage so that they were both even. The way mine broke, they two peices kind of peiced together like a puzzle. Make sure they are both symmetrical on both sides of the fuselage. Then hold the plane with the nose facing straight up. ( It helps if you have someone assisting you ).
Then just squeeze a bunch of crazy glue into the area where the two rods meet in the fuselage. Wait about ten minutes or so, then do the same thing. After it all dried, there was a ball of glue about the size of a piece of chewed up bubble gum holding the two rods together, and even. This worked for about two months, (probably about 20 or so flights until the glue finally gave way.
At that point I just ordered another firebird outlaw fuselage with the same channel for the plane. You can get extra parts for the firebird at C and C Hobbies on line. THe new fuselage cost about 27.00 plus shipping. I have since gotten into glow planes which I'm sure you will eventually too. They seem to be a lot less of a hassle believe it or not.
* Make sure there is absolutely no wind when you take the firebird out. It is the only way you can actually control it in the air, any wind will just take over.
Hope this helps.... Tim
