Is it just me or are firebirds a little weak for trainers. I mean I can't control it without putting in the exact right amount of throttle and turn. Shouldn't that kind of stuff be for experienced pilots. I don't know what to believe, I've flow... no crashed several times and just given my firebird up. I bought an r/c car, no one i know has them so boring. My grandpa gave me an old control line plane, but it's nose heavy and unstartable (Norvel). Now I'm still trying and again my grandpa gave me another plane, a GWS PICO J-3 CUB, I've built it but I still need a transmitter and charger. So this weekend I thought I'd bring out my Firebird and i actually flew it, before crashing it into a fence and breaking both the tail and main wing. So now i have to go buy spares from the Hobby Bench, and to add to it I have no money. Getting started has been almost depressing, but I'm not going to give up.
