I bought my Aerobird two weeks ago and I had a great time flying it, battery only lasts 18min but I got an hour of flying in by getting it to a high altitude and letting it glide. Towards the end of the flight the wind picked up and causes it to loose control because the wing bent and went into a spiral, right into the ground. Well I got a replacement wing and put it on, since it was to windy that day I thought I could even out the trims and totaly messed them up. The following time I flew it it turned rigth when throttle was nuetral and when I pushed the throttle all the way to the left it flew straight and I can not seem to get it back. Any tips on what I can do? I think their might be a small defect but the company will probaly say it was due to the crash. I love this plane and I am looking at getting a more powerful electric or possibly the nexSTAR trainer or the Alpha RTF trainer by Hanger 9. Any tips on what I can do to fix the aerobird and tips on whether to go glo or stay electric. I am planning on getting lessons in december by a guy who has a charter club. I would greatly appreciate advice on correcting the Aerobird, good electric planes (near/under 400), good beginner glo planes. By the way, I spent almost a whole day periodically reading advice you were giving to a highschool student I believe on getting into the Hobby under 250 and I must say all your advice was amazing. This forum is truely the best I have found, and the only one I check. Good job !
