I got a Fighterbird last summer and flew it almost daily on my lunch hour in a vacant factory parking lot nearby. They will thermal, and with no down elevator you have to fly out of lift areas. All was fine, it's a neat little aeroplane, until one day I got into trouble with wind shear (couldn't have been pilot error). Ended up climbing a spindly 25' flowering pear tree in front of a thriving factorydown the road from where I started in a dress white shirt, dress slacks and leather-soled Oxfords. Climbing trees was easier 30 years ago. (I remembered my safety lessons and removed my tie first). I was finding twigs and caterpillars in interesting spots all afternoon.

Not the machine for winds over 10 mph. And don't leave it where the sun can get to it while in the car. The "V" tail turns into a twisted tulip.
