Hey jgun1969 !!!!!

I would like to know if you flew your Firebird Commander in the same place where you did the crash last time, and if its a affirmative i would like to ask you if you noticed that your aircraft, before your last crash, went out of a 20 yards of range on that day.Because i have your same aircraft and i have some 20 takeoffs and landings expirience and i know that their are two things important in that aircraft: 1-allways check your aircraft battery to be full
2-allways check that the area you're flying in does not contain some radio transmission frequencies (like police station ...some kind of radio communication antena)because your aircraft has an 27 mhz of frequency and that is two low and i can tell you that i flew in many places in Italy and some times due at the highier frequencies my airplane got out of reach and than the desastre !!!!

If you're intressted i made an video system on my Firebird Commander its the cheapest video system i think that exists !!!! and i have some on-board flight video tests if you want to take a look......

That's it pilot i guess you dont have to buy another one try to change places and fly safe...if you want any other advice about that bird, trust me i have alot of crash expirience and reparing on the FIREBIRD COMMANDER....

GOOD FLIGHT
