Aerobird challenges
I finally found out what was truly causing my Aerobird challenger to "get out of hand" during flights. To my dismay there was a slight bend in the v-tail, and packing tape is not strong enough to fix it. I think the bend was caused by an ill-fitting v-tail retainer (big space between mating surfaces). Now I have to wait for a no wind condition to check out my fix (replace the tail and replace the tail retainer, that silly plastic "v"shaped thingy the screws go through). Too bad my ground pounder was stolen from my car 2 nights ago, or I would get my RC fix that way. Wish me luck and I hope I don't make too big of a smoking hole on the first day out.
