I've been putting my Sturdy Birdy II through it's paces and I've come to this understanding that rubber bands are not enough, no matter how many, in keeping the wing on the plane! I've dived the plane from a few hundred feet up and every time I "pull up" out of the dive......the fuselage maintains the dive while the wing does what I want it to do and that is "pull up", but they don't do it together!!!!!!![:@] I'm tempted to pull out the pipe strapping and make the wing a permanent part of the plane. My question is this........shouldn't I be able to fly this trainer as hard as I can and shouldn't it be able to take it? Or......is this a plane that isn't supposed to "do" much other than teach takeoff and landings as well as stable level flight? Don't misunderstand me..........I'd rather fly something than nothing at all, but I also like to learn by pushing the envelope.
Have a great day........I am!
