Yup, the aerobirds don't fly very good at all compared to the larger nitro planes... I got one for my wife to mess around with and ended up getting her a superstar instead.... Anyway, It definately needs more throttle for the turns... About 2 seconds before you enter the turn give her at LEAST 3/4 throttle... Then give a small input (like maybe slightly more than 1/4 stick travel) and hold it JUST until the wings bank at about a 30 degree angle.... AS the plane starts to roll, you also want to EASE in a little up elevator... Start when it's about 15 degrees banked. Once it's at 30 degrees, stop your left/right input, but hold just a slight amount of up elevator (whatever amount it takes to keep the nose up level, not climbing or diving)... When you've just about come about to where you want to exit the turn, start pushing in opposite aileron and wait till it responds... As it rolls out ease back off the elevator and once the wings are level re-center the stick and drop your throttle back to normal cruise setting again.
