Default Firebird Phantom problems?

I am on my third Phantom because of problems with the electronics in the thing. The first two developed a control problem after a couple of flights where the plane would take off ok gain altitude and then head to the left and down no matter what input you gave it then would promptly crash. The second plane I had, the first flight went really well and the second flight was not bad but on the third flight it started messing up and you couldn't control it. I guess that is why you always take 2 or 3 planes with you when you go out to fly!! I said o-well and just flew the super cub the rest of the evening...the light module is pretty cool for flying at dusk![8D]

The one bad thing is that the phantom doesn't have servos per say. I had thought about trying to replace what it had with nan or micro servos and see if I could get that to work but it is too easy to send it back and get a new plane but I might try it if this new plane screws up.
