I have just recieved an Aerobird and I now have 2 days of flying it under my belt. This plane is my baby! I love it to !

It is possible that you got a bum plane. If you call Hobby Zone and tell them about it, they can help. They might even replace it. Heck, they have replaced 2 Firebird Scouts for me. Tell us if you get it going. My email is [email protected] if you have any nooby questions. I'm a nooby, too, but I really feel that my Firebird Scout exp has helped a ton!
