I for one, do not mean to slam park-flyers as a genre, but I'm sorry the Firebird is a pathetic excuse for an airplane! I bought one, crashed it a few times, bought some parts for it, crashed it some more and finally shelved it. It had one flight that lasted more than 30 seconds. A complete waste of money. If I went insane and bought another one, I'd get one of the ones that at least had proper elevators and a rudder.
