Hey All,

I would like to put my 2 cents in also. I own two Aerobirds, one Fighterbird, and one Firebird Commander. Let me tell you. I have had my ups and DOWNS (excuse the pun) With these airplanes.

However, I must say after trials and tribulations I have suceeded in flying these BIRDS very sucessfuly.

I have accomplished severe manuevers without crashing as well as LOOPING my Aerobirds.

The only thing that I can't seem to cure is an adequate hinge for the canopy on my Fighter bird. any suggestions?

For everyones information these BIRDS are mfg.'d by Horrizon Hobby. I must say they have been a real help.

My first experience was with one of my Aerobirds. I couldn't keep it up very well at all. Matter of fact I crashed it so severely that it cracked the fuse right down the center from the nose back toward the tail shaft.

I mended it with 5 min epoxy and a peice of vacumed formed plastic from a package I had lying around.

The receiver went bad after that crash and I would loose controll of the aircraft.

Those great guys at Horrizon Hobby replaced my entire plane for free. Now how can you beat that for backing a product?

I also experienced electronic problems with my Fighterbird. Once again after receiving severe damages due to crashes Horrizon replaced my plane again for free.

Now I have four planes in the BIRD series and I have no complaints. They all perform very well.

I must add that relocating the control lines closer to the elevon surfaces does help immensly in the control of the aircraft.

Be patient you will eventually have alot of fun with these inexpensive planes.
