Well the new firebird wont be hitting shelves for a couple more weeks. Im a manager at hobbytown where i live and we put some on backorder. I dont know if it is worth it or not. Ive flown practally all the parkzone / hobbyzone planes and they are pretty easy to fly like the manufacture advertises.
Some of these manufactures add these gyro systems to a plane to help newbies out but, i think it hinders how to really fly a plane.
